Stuff my Grandaddy Said

[Intro] This time, gone for good, my world torn apart,
 I reach for the old wisdom that steadies my heart. [instrumental] [Verse 1] These walls echo silence, where laughter once rang,
 Love’s blueprint’s torn up, but I’m trying to hang.
 Grandaddy's voice whispers through the maelstrom, "Measure twice, cut once," in my mind, never gone. [Chorus] “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it,”
 Grandaddy said, His words like a lighthouse when the fog’s thick. (Steer straight ahead!!) "When the roots are deep, no need to fear the wind,”
 Grandaddy’s sayings, where my healing begins. [Verse 2] Love spilled like milk on a long, hard day,
 "No use crying," he’d chuckle and say.
 "Hard times are just blessings that haven’t bloomed yet," With his hat tipped back, on that you could bet. [Chorus] “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it,”
 Grandaddy said, His words like a lighthouse when the fog’s thick. (plow on ahead!) 
“When the roots are deep, no need to fear the wind,”
 Grandaddy’s sayings, where my healing begins. [instrumental] [Verse 3] Now I stand at the crossroads, not alone in my strife,
 "Keep your saddle right even in the roughest of life."
 "Love’s the only road worth taking a ride," 
With a heart full of sayings, I’m ready to decide. [Chorus/Outro] “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it,”
 Grandaddy said, His words like a lighthouse when the fog’s thick as lead, "When the roots are deep, no need to fear the wind,”
 Grandaddy’s sayings, guiding me to mend. Grandaddy’s sayings, guiding me to mend.
