Help Somebody - The Hit Crew
Granddaddy was a hillbilly scholar
Blue collar of a man
He came from the school where you didn't need nothin'
If you couldn't make it with your own two hands
He was backwoods backwards used words like
No sir yes ma'am by God be darned
Hell yeah I'm American
All the years he walked this earth
I swear all he did was work
He said"The Devil dreams on an idle horse
So you listen to me squirt"
Don't get too high on a bottle
And get right with the man
Fight your fights find a grace
And all the things that you can change
And help somebody if you can
Now granny said"Sonny stick to your guns
If you believe in something no matter what
'Cause it's better to be hated for who you are
Than be loved for who you're not"
She was five feet of concrete
New York born an' raised on a slick city street
She'd cold-stare you down stand her ground
Still kickin' and screamin' at 93
I remember just how frail she looked in that hospital bed
Takin' her last few breaths of life smilin' as she said
"Don't get too high on a bottle
Just a little sip every now and then
Fight your fights find a grace
And all the things that you can change
And help somebody if you can
And get right with the man"
Come on now
I never let a cowboy make the coffee
Yeah that's what granny always said to my granddad
And he'd say
"Never tell a joke that ain't that funny more than once
"And if you wanna hear God laugh tell him your plans"
Don't get too high on a bottle
Get right with the man son
Fight your fights find a grace
And all the things that you can change
And help somebody if you can
And get right with the man
Yeah
Yeah don't get too high
Help somebody if you can
And get right with the man
