[Verse]
He'd wake before the sunrise, boots hit the floor,
Out to the woods where his spirit could soar.
With a rifle in hand and a purpose so clear,
Gramps knew who he was, no room for fear.
[Verse 2]
He'd hum an old tune while his fingers would dance,
On that old guitar, like a love-filled trance.
The firelight flickered, casting shadows grand,
Pam would smile, holding tight to his hand.
[Chorus]
Gramps, the man, with a heart so wide,
A rugged strength and a tender inside.
Built his world on love and steel,
Gramps, oh Gramps, you were the real deal.
[Verse 3]
The deer and the doves seemed to know his name,
Out in the wild, he was part of the game.
But family came first, he'd lay down his gun,
To laugh with his kids in the light of the sun.
[Bridge]
He’d talk about Pam with a twinkle so bright,
Said she was his rock, his flame in the night.
Through joy and tears, they made their stand,
A love bound tighter than the strongest band.
[Verse 4]
Now the guitar’s quiet, the woods feel still,
But his spirit roams free through the valleys and hills.
We call on his lessons, his melody rings,
Gramps taught us life is in the simplest things.
