Lyrics
[Introduction - Spoken]
Gran'ma, this one's for you...
[Refrain]
Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh
Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh...
[Verse 1]
I moved down south, to fix my life
A family to love, a darlin' wife.
I took for granted, our time back then
Fishin' at the pond, way back when.
You were always ready with a meal
Day or night, it was never an ordeal.
Should'a made time, for one last goodbye...
Now I'm singin', this painful lullaby...
[Chorus]
Gran'ma, I'm sorry I let you down
Too many miles, from our ol' hometown.
Didn't hold your hand, in that hospital bed
I was tryin' to be good, workin' instead.
It haunts me, at the end of every day
Wishin' that I'd found, some other way...
[Verse 2]
Wish I could be fixin', your garden gate
Pickin' sugar snaps, hands caked in dirt
Instead I'm here, a world apart
Regret and shame, in my heart
The love you gave, the things you taught
Now all I have, are tears that I've fought
[Chorus]
Gran'ma, I'm sorry I let you down
Too many miles, from our ol' hometown.
Didn't hold your hand, in that hospital bed
I was tryin' to be good, workin' instead.
It haunts me, at the end of every day
Wishin' that I'd found, some other way...
[Verse 3]
Farewell, Gran'ma, my heart's in shame
I wasn't there, and I'm to blame
Didn't visit you when you were sick
Didn't say goodbye, a regret I can't kick
Your grandson's sorry, for not bein' there
I'll make it up to you, in every song I share
[Bridge]
The sweetest soul that I ever knew
I wish I'd spent more time with you
Missed your funeral, it breaks me down
Guilt and pain, they're always aroun'
But all I can do now is sing this song
And hope you're up there list'nin' along
[Chorus - solo]
Gran'ma, I'm sorry I let you down
Too many miles, from our ol' hometown.
Didn't hold your hand, in that hospital bed
I was tryin' to be good, workin' instead.
It haunts me, at the end of every day
Wishin' that I'd found, some other way...
some other way, to say goodbye...
[Outro]
Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh
Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh
Ooooh oh oooh...
