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]
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...
[Outro]
Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh
Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh
Ooooh oh oooh...
Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh
Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh
Ooooh oh oooh...
