[00:01.72][Verse 1]
[00:05.70]They're little more than a few old guns
[00:11.30]Handed down the line
[00:13.53]Once owned by my Grandma and Grandpa
[00:17.96]And now they're mine
[00:20.55]They've been all the way to Utah
[00:25.40]Then back home to Texas again
[00:28.46]They've seen Colorado, Wyoming
[00:31.70]And the Grand Canyon
[00:35.05]And hunting trips in the freezing snow
[00:38.86]And up before the sun
[00:41.55]And now they're a part of me, I got the guns
[00:47.37]I never really got to know him
[00:55.28]I was much too young
[00:58.81]He died on the Corpus Christi Bay
[01:02.43]When I was one
[01:05.31]A Christian man I barely knew
[01:10.89]But he was oh so proud of me
[01:14.24]He ran the nursery at the church for free
[01:18.58]"Amazing Grace how sweet the sound" he always sung
[01:26.10]Sometimes I can hear him when I fire his guns
[01:33.82][Chorus]
[01:34.65]I've seen tears in grown men's eyes when they spoke of their granddad
[01:40.15]Then they laugh at how he spoiled then to the bone
[01:45.17]Well I don't have those memories that I can hold on to
[01:53.41]But I keep holding on to his old guns
[01:58.73][Verse 2]
[01:59.75]I was his only daughter's son
[02:07.17]His pride and all his love
[02:09.96]Maybe someday if I try my best
[02:14.16]I'll be half the man he was
[02:17.11]He knew love lasted longer
[02:21.82]The great depression only made him stronger
[02:25.01]He saved his pennies
[02:27.78]And prayed to God each night
[02:32.59]He knew how to weather hard times
[02:35.76]And showed us how to overcome
[02:38.28]And I can feel his strength when I hold his guns
[02:43.70][Chorus]
[02:45.54]I've seen tears in grown men's eyes when they spoke of their granddad
[02:51.57]Then they laugh at how he spoiled then to the bone
[02:58.44]Well I don't have those memories that I can hold on to
[03:05.21]But I keep holding on to his old guns
[03:11.54][Outro]
[03:13.12]Just a bolt-action 20 gauge
[03:19.15]And my grandmother's 410
[03:22.03]A 270 that my dad fired once
[03:26.31]And brought a mule deer in
[03:29.50]Well I wonder what he'd think of all this going on down here
[03:38.72]And making all this fuss about his old guns
[03:45.59]I've got the guns
[03:50.81]
