Lyrics
Words & Music Lou Penta (GRAND PAW'S LITTLE MAN) (c) 2012
( VERSE )
AS A BOY I HELPED MY GRAN PAW, WHEN HE DUG THIS OLE FARM WELL WE WERE HITTIN HARD TIMES, FROM A DROUGHT
ALWAYS WORKIN IN HIS SHADOW, HE CALLED ME, LITTLE MAN
WITH HIS GENTLE LOVE AND WISDOM, HE RAISED ME TO, THE MAN I AM
( PRE / CHOURS )
HIS WORDS STAY, RINGING IN MY HEAD ,,,,, AS I LIVE BY, WHAT HE SAID IF LIFE TAKES YOU TO THE BOTTOM, DONT LET FEAR RUN INTO DOUGHT
WHEN IT GET'S TO LOOK IMPOSSIBLE, I'LL BE HERE.... TO HELP YOU OUT
YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS, TILL I'M G -O -N -E IT DOS'NT MATTER WHERE OR WHEN I'LL BE WORKIN IN, " YOUR SHADOW THEN, " YOUR'E MADE FROM ALL THE THINGS I AM.... YOU'RE GRAN P-A-W-'S, LITTLE MAN...
( VERSE )
MY HERO DIED IN THAT CORN FEILD, AS HE WHISPERED IN MY ARMS
HE SAID, YOUV'E GOT-A PROMISE, FOR I GO MY HEART WILL BEAT INSIDE YOU, THROUGH YOUR EYES, I'LL ALWAYS SEE
LAY ME IN THIS LAND WE LOVE....WHERE YOU CAN AL-WAY-S TALK TO ME...
( PRE / CHOURS )
HIS WORDS STAY, RINGING IN MY HEAD ,,,,, AS I LIVE BY, WHAT HE SAID IF LIFE TAKES YOU TO THE BOTTOM, DONT LET FEAR RUN INTO DOUGHT
WHEN IT GET'S TO LOOK IMPOSSIBLE, I'LL BE HERE.... TO HELP YOU OUT
YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS, TILL I'M G -O -N -E IT DOS'NT MATTER WHERE OR WHEN I'LL BE WORKIN IN, "YOUR SHADOW THEN, YOUR'E MADE FROM ALL THE THINGS I AM.... YOU'RE GRAN P-A-W-'S, LITTLE MAN...
( BRIDGE )
THIS WELL'S GONE DRY AFTER TWENTY YEARS, COULD'NT TAKE ANOTHER DROUGHT AND MY PRAYERS FOR RAIN UNANSWERED, I'M BACK INSIDE, TO DIG IT OUT
WHEN THE SKY TURNED BLACK, A LIGHTING CRACKED, AND THUNDER SHOOK THE GROUND THEN I CLEARLY HEARD, MY GAND PAWS VOICE, AS THE RAIN, WAS POURIN .... DOWN.......
( CHOURS ) IF LIFE TAKES YOU TO THE BOTTOM, DONT LET FEAR RUN INTO DOUGHT
WHEN IT GET'S TO LOOK IMPOSSIBLE, I'LL BE HERE.... TO HELP YOU OUT
YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS, TILL I'M G -O -N -E IT DOS'NT MATTER WHERE OR WHEN I'LL BE WORKIN IN, "YOUR SHADOW THEN, YOUR'E MADE FROM ALL THE THINGS I AM.... YOU'RE GRAN P-A-W-'S, LITTLE MAN...
