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 'til Becky Thompson broke my heart

That first taste of love nearly did me in

Getting over her slow

And I knew someday I would 'cause Grandpa told me so



He said life is 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 live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so



I promissed 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 believe 'cause Grandpa told me so



He said life is 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 live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so



He said life is 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 live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so



Yeah and I still believe

Grandpa told me so

Grandpa told me so

I still believe

Grandpa told me so

I still believe
