EThere's an old rockin' chair spreading Amemories everywEhere
On that old home porch across from Tipple's B7store.
You can Esee where the wood is worn, where my gAranddaddy rested his Earm
As he rocked me in that rockin' B7chair that don't rock no mEore.
EI was born in a broken home, I was blAinded by things gone Ewrong.
Had no vision of what the future held in stB7ore.
Just a bEaby barely three, when my granddaddy cAame for Eme
To rock me in the rockin' B7chair that don't rock no mEore. E7
If that old Arockin' chair could read, the tEhoughts from people's mind
Oh the stories it could tell time after B7time.
EStories others never hear, of the Athoughts one holds so Edear.
Oh how I wish I coulda B7read my grandpa's Emind.
EGranddaddy lived the Christian way, truth and Agoodness he porEtrayed.
He loved to gather his thoughts as he rocked on the hardwood B7floor
And Ewhile he's sit and rock, he paid no Amind to the time on the Eclock.
And rocked me in the rockin' B7chair that don't rock no Emore. E7
If that old Arockin' chair could read, the tEhoughts from people's mind
Oh the stories it could tell time after B7time.
EStories others never hear, of the Athoughts one holds so Edear.
Oh how I wish I coulda B7read my grandpa's Emind.
As he rocked me in the rockin' B7chair that don't rock no Emore, don't Arock no Emore.
