Well, I think what made granddaddy great
Is that he didn't work all day
And I'd love the time we spent
And I'd go everywhere he went
We'd end up on some old deer trail
And I'd listen hard as he would spin his tales
We were in a field of stumps
He said, "I got a new one for you, hon
These trees once stood tall
And I'm the man that made 'em fall
I cut 'em up, I sanded 'em down
And you wouldn't believe what I found"
And past the bark and all the scars
Our home was in the heart of those old trees
God bless who sowed those seeds
A hundred years and they just grew
And only Heaven knew just what they'd be
To our family
All that time to become what they should
You know our home was in the heart of the wood

He smiled, said, "There's my favorite one"
Pointed at a cherry stump
He said, "I couldn't afford the one at Sears
So the good Lord planted one right here"
He carved out what he saw within
And he gave it to my dad when he turned ten
And past the bark and all the scars
There was a guitar in the heart of that old tree
All from just one seed
A hundred years and it just grew
And only Heaven knew just what it'd be
And how that tree could sing
All that time to become what it should
There were songs in the heart of the wood
He said, "We can mark a tree
To keep from gettin' lost
And it'll always point our way home
Like that old rugged cross"
A hundred years and it just grew
And only Heaven knew just what it'd be
And who'd hang on that tree
It held the Son of God like it should
But I know it broke the heart of the wood
ย
Well, I think what made granddaddy great
Is that he didn't work all day
And I'd love the time we spent
And I'd go everywhere that old man went
