Grandfather - Daryl Hall & John Oates

Working the fields in the morning

Riding the truck in the afternoon to delver the goods

And put some meat on the table back home

I was a skinny young shaver

Grandpa and me we were neighbors

If you wanna call across the field the same as being next door

Always do like you think you should

Make a man out of carving wood

These are some of the things I learned on the knee of my grandfather

Don’t you put on no fancy clothes

If you wanna see how a garden grows

That’s the kind of religion I learned on the knee of my grandfather

Grandpa was ridin' the farm-ah

Dad was in the shed with the old John Deer

He’d been tryin' to get that tractor workin' for days

I’d been playing since daybreak

Riding on top of of the hay rake

That was rustin' away &hadn't been no kinda use for years

Always do like you think you should

Make a man out of carving wood

These are some of the things I learned on the knee of my grandfather

Don’t you put on no fancy clothes

If you wanna see how a garden grows

That’s the kind of religion I learned on the knee of my grandfather
