[E]
There's an old rocking chair [A] casting memories [E] everywhere
On that old home porch across from [B] Pippel's store
[E] You can see where the Army's worn, [A] where my granddaddy rested [E] his arm
don't rock no more
was born in a broken home, [A] I was blinded by things [E] gone wrong
future [B] held in store
[E] a baby, barely three, [A] when my granddaddy [E] came for me
There's an old rocking chair [A] casting memories [E] everywhere
On that old home porch across from [B] Pippel's store
[E] You can see where the Army's worn, [A] where my granddaddy rested [E] his arm
don't rock no more
was born in a broken home, [A] I was blinded by things [E] gone wrong
future [B] held in store
[E] a baby, barely three, [A] when my granddaddy [E] came for me
