Granny's Got A Garden - For G'maw Jan

(album: We Were Cowboys - 2022)

Granny's got a garden
And an ol' porch swing
A Park Avenue Buick
Underneath a dogwood tree

Grocery list on a phone bill
Something growing in the window sill
'Cause Granny's got a garden

She got a concert ticket
In a picture frame
From Woodstock '69
Said she saw Jimi play

It was one hell of a party
Yeah, that's where it all started
Granny's got a garden

She's got Jesus in her heart
And Willie in her soul
She keeps Sun Drop in the fridge
Cornbread cooling on the stove
But when her back gets to hurting
You might smell something burning
Granny's got a garden

Wheel of Fortune on the TV
And crochet on the couch
Bowl of candy on the coffee table
Never ever seems to run out

The best cobbler in the county
But there's something 'bout her brownies
'Cause Granny's got a garden

She's got Jesus in her heart
And Willie in her soul
She keeps Sun Drop in the fridge
Cornbread cooling on the stove
When her back gets to hurting
You might smell something burning
'Cause Granny's got a garden

She's got Jesus in her heart
And Willie in her soul
She keeps Sun Drop in that fridge
Cornbread cooling on that stove
When her back gets to hurting
You might smell something burning
It's a different kinda sowing
More than just tomatoes she's growing
'Cause Granny's got a garden
