DThere's an old rockin' chair spreading Gmemories everywDhere

On that old home porch across from Tipple's A7store.

You can Dsee where the wood is worn, where my gGranddaddy rested his Darm

As he rocked me in that rockin' A7chair that don't rock no mDore.


DI was born in a broken home, I was blGinded by things gone Dwrong.

Had no vision of what the future held in stA7ore.

Just a bDaby barely three, when my granddaddy cGame for Dme

To rock me in the rockin' A7chair that don't rock no mDore. E7


If that old Grockin' chair could read, the tDhoughts from people's mind

Oh the stories it could tell time after A7time.

DStories others never hear, of the Gthoughts one holds so Ddear.

Oh how I wish I coulda A7read my grandpa's Dmind.


DGranddaddy lived the Christian way, truth and Ggoodness he porDtrayed.

He loved to gather his thoughts as he rocked on the hardwood A7floor

And Dwhile he's sit and rock, he paid no Gmind to the time on the Dclock.

And rocked me in the rockin' A7chair that don't rock no Dmore. E7


If that old Grockin' chair could read, the tDhoughts from people's mind

Oh the stories it could tell time after A7time.

DStories others never hear, of the Gthoughts one holds so Ddear.

Oh how I wish I coulda A7read my grandpa's Dmind.

As he rocked me in the rockin' A7chair that don't rock no Dmore, don't Grock no Dmore.
