Grandpa Told Me So

If you don't get in the water, you're never gonna learn to swim
 He said a snake is just as scared of you, as you are of him
 He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite
 Seems there was nothing that he didn't know
 And as a kid I believed, 'cause grandpa told me so
 ♪
 He talked daddy into letting me have my first car
 I thought I was really something till Becky Thompson broke my heart
 That first taste of love nearly did me in
 Getting over her was slow
 And I knew someday I would, 'cause grandpa told me so
 He said life was made for you to live
 The best love is the love that you give
 There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
 And I lived by those words, 'cause grandpa told me so
 ♪
 I promised him I wouldn't cry when it was his time to leave
 That's the only promise I made him I couldn't keep
 He smiled from his bed and said we'll meet again
 Somewhere down the road
 And I believed, 'cause grandpa told me so
 He said life was made for you to live
 The best love is the love that you give
 There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
 And I lived by those words, 'cause grandpa told me so
 He said life was made for you to live
 The best love is the love that you give
 There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
 And I lived by those words, 'cause grandpa told me so
 Yeah, and I still believe, 'cause grandpa told me so
