Текст пісні
I was down on the farm, you know just tillin' around
It was just me and Gandpa waiting on a familiar sound
Come half past 11, we'd both hear Grandma's voice
Saying it's time to eat you'd better bring it in boys
Well the food was on the table and I was ready to take my place
She pulled me aside once while Grandpa was washing his face
She said you won't need this now boy, oh but some day you will
She said keep this in your shoe, it was a twenty dollar bill
Oh now Grandma, they don't make em' like you anymore
Except for those young soldiers, we send off to war
It seems you're always righting, the wrongs of somebody else
It seems you're always fighting, for somebody other than yourself
All that you've done now, all that you still do
I'll keep you in my heart, your twenty in my shoe
I was up there in the city you know just killin' my time
Yeah the show got over early so I was just blowin' my mind
This man came up to me and tried to ruin all my fun
He pushed m to the ground and then he pulled out a gun
He said if you've no money, boy this will be the end of you
I said hold on a minute, I got a twenty in my shoe
Well he leaned in there real close and then he stared in disbelief
When I reached for that twenty you know I sized up that thief
But he never saw it coming oh I took that man's life
Cause next to Grandma's twenty I keep Grandpa's knife
Grandma and Grandpa, they don't make em' like you anymore
Except for those young soldiers, we send off to war
It seems you're always righting, the wrongs of somebody else
It seems you're always fighting, for somebody other than yourself
All that you've done now, all that you still do
I'll keep you in my heart, your knife and twenty in my shoe
