Chorus
Momma, I love you like a good boy should.
Grandma, I thank you for our life and times.
Still, there is a girl that the sun longs to shine on.
Great-grandma, oh won't you come outside
Verse
It seems you saved your beauty all these years.
You've seen this country shout and cry
Great-grandma tell us of the way life used to be,
and of the day, Great-grandpa died.
Bridge
I know the lights in your eyes are fleeting.
When I think of this, it always brings a tear.
Great-grandma, I know heaven waits for you.
It's sure been great having you all these years.
