lyrics

It’s hanging on the wall my Grandpa’s old guitar

A bruised & battered Gibson covered in rough scars

The frets worn deep from fingers & strings

The steel on wood & it’s heavenly ring



He’d play at family picnics those ones he knew so well

That old Crawdad Song & Lefty Frizzell

I remember the last picnic paper plates & hot dog buns

Picking & singing under the hot August sun



He said I want you to have it don’t worry about them

The uncles faces jealous the cousins faces grim

She needs a good home & you’re the right player

I knocked on his door a few days later



The house was dark & silent not a soul not a sound

Just my shadow in the driveway & a dog sniffing around

Thinkin bout girls I drove back to town

I regret to this day I never made it back down



A week or two went by the kitchen phone rang

Grandpas in the hospital his big heart full of pain

Down at his bedside the mood was sedated

He never did wake up despite how long we waited

You get a line & I’ll get a pole honey

You get a line & I'll get a pole babe

Your get a line & I'll get a pole honey

We’ll all go down to that crawdad hole



Tonight it looks like Jesus or some faded North Star

It’s hanging up there on the wall my Grandpa’s old guitar

You get a line & I’ll get a pole honey

You get a line & I'll get a pole babe

Your get a line & I'll get a pole honey

We’ll all go down to that crawdad hole
