Hall & Oates — Grandfather

Working the fields in the morning Riding the truck in the afternoon to delver the goods And put some meat on the table back home I was a skinny young shaver Grandpa and me we were neighbors If you wanna call across the field the same as being next door Always do like you think you should Make a man out of carving wood These are some of the things I learned on the knee of my grandfather Don't you put on no fancy clothes If you wanna see how a garden grows That's the kind of religion I learned on the knee of my grandfather Grandpa was ridin' the farm-ah Dad was in the shed with the old John Deer He'd been tryin' to get that tractor workin' for days I'd been playing since daybreak Riding on top of of the hay rake That was rustin' away & hadn't been no kinda use for years Always do like you think you should Make a man out of carving wood These are some of the things I learned on the knee of my grandfather Don't you put on no fancy clothes If you wanna see how a garden grows That's the kind of religion I learned on the knee of my grandfather
