If you don't get in the water you're never gonna learn to swim

He said a snake is just as scared of you as you are of him

He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite

Seems there was nothing that he didn't know

And as a kid I believed 'cuz Grandpa told me so

He talked Daddy into letting me have my first car

I thought I was really something 'til Becky Thompson broke my heart

That first taste of love really did me in

Getting over her slow

And I knew someday I would 'cuz Grandpa told me so

(Chorus)

He said life is made for you to live

The best love is the love that you give

They be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go

And I live by those words 'cuz Grandpa told me so

I promised him I wouldn't cry when it was his time to leave

That's the only promise I made him I couldn't keep

He smiled from his bed and said we'll meet again

Somewhere down the road

And I believe 'cuz Grandpa told me so

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Yeah and I still believe

Grandpa told me so

Grandpa told me so

I still believe

Grandpa told me so

I still believe
