Help Somebody

Well grandaddy 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.. and 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 your grace and all the things that you can't change, and help somebody if you can Now Granny said sonny stick to your gun if you believe in something no matter what cause it's better to be hated for who you are Than beloved for what you're not. She was 5 feet of concrete New York born and raised on a slick city street. She'll stare you down, stand her ground, still kickin' and screamin' at 93 I remember just how frail she looked in that hospital bed taking her last few breaths of life and smiling as she said Don't get too high on a bottle, just a little sip every now and then, fight your fights, find your grace, and all the things that you can't change and help somebody if you can, and get right with the man I never let a cowboy make the coffee yeah that's what Granny always said to my Grandad and he'd say never tell a joke that ain't that funny more than once and if you want to 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 your grace, and all the things you two can't change and help somebody if you can and get right with the man and get right with the man --- Help Somebody - Van Zant
