about

This song is written for my grandmother, Willene Barber

lyrics

Grandmother, grandmother there isn't another
Kind of love like the love you get from her
Grandmother, grandmother there isn't another
Kind of love like the love you get from her

There when I was born, the first candle I blew
From days of old to day of new
We share the same blood like we share the same love
I stare upon the bridge to see where I come from

Grandmother, grandmother there isn't another
Kind of love like the love you get from her

Washboard road, the sound the rooster crow
Will always remind me of you
South Georgia fields will always mean
Mean much more to me
Than grey dirt, summer drive, tree going through the roof
Or like a simple life, pickin' eggs, buzzing in your ear
Don't you know that I-16 will always be grandma to me

Grandmother, grandmother there isn't another
Kind of love like the love you get from her
Grandmother, grandmother there isn't another
Kind of love like the love you get from her
