Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She folds up the paper
Sets the kettle on
Knocks three times soft
Before she walks on in
Shoes by the doorway
Eyes full of care
Gladys says, “Honey
I’m glad you’re there”
[Pre-Chorus]
She lifts those bags
Like they weigh no more
Pulls that chair close
By the screen door
Calls each old name
Like it’s Sunday grace
And every hard day
Starts to shift in place
[Chorus]
Gladys, Gladys
Bless her hands
Gladys, Gladys
She understands
She gives respect
Like a front-porch song
Gladys, Gladys
She keeps us strong (Gladys)
[Verse 2]
Mends up a sleeve
And straightens a hat
Leaves a warm plate
Where the old folks sat
Laughs at the stories
Hears them all through
Never rushes a soul
Like the young ones do
If a heart gets lonely
She knows what to say
A little kind word
Can light up the day
[Pre-Chorus]
She lifts those bags
Like they weigh no more
Pulls that chair close
By the screen door
Calls each old name
Like it’s Sunday grace
And every hard day
Starts to shift in place
[Chorus]
Gladys, Gladys
Bless her hands
Gladys, Gladys
She understands
She gives respect
Like a front-porch song
Gladys, Gladys
She keeps us strong (Gladys)
[Bridge]
When the evening settles
And the house gets still
She leaves no one empty
By the window sill
Just a nod, a smile
And a hand held tight
Like mercy wore boots
And came home tonight
[Final Chorus]
Gladys, Gladys
Bless her hands
Gladys, Gladys
She understands
She gives respect
Like a front-porch song
Gladys, Gladys
She keeps us strong (Gladys)
Gladys, Gladys
Say her name
Gladys, Gladys
It’s love in plain
She gives respect
And she lifts us all
Gladys, Gladys
Answer the call (Gladys)
