[Verse 1]
G Am7
Granddaddy was a hillbilly scholar, blue collar of a man.
C Cadd9 C
He came from a school where you didn't need nothin'
G
If you couldn't make it with your own two hands.
G Am7
He was back woods, backwards, used words like: no sir, yes
C Cadd9 C G
mam, by God, be darned and hell yeah I'm American
Adim7 Em
In all the years he walked this earth,
Adim7 Em
I swear all he did was work.
Am7 Bm7
He said the devil dreams on that idle horse
C Cadd9 C C*
So listen to me squirt.
[Chorus]
G Am7 C Cadd9 C G
Don't get too high on the bottle and get right with the man
G Am7
Fight your fights, find your grace and all the things that you can't change.
C Cadd9 C G
And help somebody if you can.
[Verse 2]
G Am7
Now Granny said son stick to your guns, if you believe in something no matter what.
C Cadd9 C
Cause it's better to be hated for who you are,
G
Than be loved for who you're not.
G
She was five feet of concrete,
Am7
NY born and raised on slick city streets
C Cadd9 C
She'd cold stare you down, stand her ground
G
Still kickin' and screaming at 93.
Adim7 Em Adim7 Em
I remember just how frail she looked in that hospital bed.
Am7 Bm7 C Cadd9 C C*
Takin' her last few breaths of life, smiling as she said...
[Chorus]
G Am7 C Cadd9 C G
Don't get too high on the bottle, just a little sip every now and then.
G Am7
Fight your fights, find your grace and all the things that you can't change.
C Cadd9 C G
And help somebody if you can.
N.C.
And get right with the man.
[Solo]
G Am7 C Cadd9 C G D/F#
[Bridge]
Em Cadd9 C G Gsus4 G
I never let a cowboy make the coffee,
Am7 Cadd9 C G Gsus4 G D/F#
Yeah, that's what Granny always said to my Granddad.
Em Cadd9 C G Gsus4 G
He said never tell a joke that ain't that funny more than once.
Am7 Bm7 C
If you want to hear God laugh tell him your plans.
[Chorus]
G Am7 C Cadd9 C G
Don't get too high on the bottle and get right with the man, son.
G Am7
Fight your fights, find your grace and all the things that you can't change.
C Cadd9 C G
And help somebody if you can.
N.C.
And get right with the man.

It's both of Ronnie Vant Zant's (singer of lynyrd skynyrd before he died) brothers... Johnny (who took over in Skynyrd for Ronnie) and Donnie (the singer in .38 Special)
