Garden Gate

[Introduction - Spoken] Gran'ma, this one's for you... [Refrain] Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh... [Verse 1] I moved down south, to fix my life A family to love, a darlin' wife. I took for granted, our time back then Fishin' at the pond, way back when. You were always ready with a meal Day or night, it was never an ordeal. Should'a made time, for one last goodbye... Now I'm singin', this painful lullaby... [Chorus] Gran'ma, I'm sorry I let you down Too many miles, from our ol' hometown. Didn't hold your hand, in that hospital bed I was tryin' to be good, workin' instead. It haunts me, at the end of every day Wishin' that I'd found, some other way... [Verse 2] Wish I could be fixin', your garden gate Pickin' sugar snaps, hands caked in dirt Instead I'm here, a world apart Regret and shame, in my heart The love you gave, the things you taught Now all I have, are tears that I've fought [Chorus] Gran'ma, I'm sorry I let you down Too many miles, from our ol' hometown. Didn't hold your hand, in that hospital bed I was tryin' to be good, workin' instead. It haunts me, at the end of every day Wishin' that I'd found, some other way... [Verse 3] Farewell, Gran'ma, my heart's in shame I wasn't there, and I'm to blame Didn't visit you when you were sick Didn't say goodbye, a regret I can't kick Your grandson's sorry, for not bein' there I'll make it up to you, in every song I share [Bridge] The sweetest soul that I ever knew I wish I'd spent more time with you Missed your funeral, it breaks me down Guilt and pain, they're always aroun' But all I can do now is sing this song And hope you're up there list'nin' along [Chorus] Gran'ma, I'm sorry I let you down Too many miles, from our ol' hometown. Didn't hold your hand, in that hospital bed I was tryin' to be good, workin' instead. It haunts me, at the end of every day Wishin' that I'd found, some other way... [Outro] Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh Ooooh oh oooh... Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh Ooooh oh oooh...
