Love My Grand Folks Had

V1.
His bib overalls and a pocket watch
On the tractor for every sunrise
Face and hands like leather
Plowing fields in the summer sunshine
He worked the farm from dawn til dusk
Did the best that he knew how
Every moment he spent loving her
Bringing truth to every vow

Chorus
I wish for a love like my grand folks had
Where a worn out ring don’t mean worn out hands
Through the highs and lows, through the slammin’ doors
The kind of love most don’t believe in anymore
I got to witness true love first hand
I want the kind of love my grand folks had

V2
She had a sundress in every color
But his favorite one was blue
Even though the shade had faded
It still fit her good as new
Her love for him is stronger now
Than the day she became his wife
Even through the imperfections
They’d made a wonderful life

Chorus
I wish for a love like our grand folks had
Where a worn out ring don’t mean worn out hands
Through the highs and lows, through the slamming doors
The kind of love most don’t believe in anymore
I got to witness true love first hand
I want the kind of love my grand folks had

Bridge
In an age where nothing’s thrown away
Where marriage lasts forever
No matter how messed up things got
They got through it together

Chorus
I wish for a love like our grand folks had
Where a worn out ring don’t mean worn out hands
Through the highs and lows, through the slammin’ doors
The kind of love most don’t believe in anymore
I got to witness true love first hand
I want the kind of love my grand folks had

I got to witness true love first hand
I want the kind of love my grand folks had




Love My Grand Folks Had (2025) (Remix)


Tank full of gas and the sun sittin’ low,
Highway lines where the wild winds blow.
Boot on the pedal, heart in the sky,
Chasin’ that freedom, don’t ask me why.

Holy Ghost Spirit ridin’ high with me,
Wind through the cornfields, wild and free.
Radio up, chasing dreams coast to coast,
Rolling on faith and the Holy Ghost.

Dust on the tailgate, bugs on the glass,
Every small town, just a blur rollin’ past.
Moon climbs high, and the stars all shine,
Feels like heaven on this road of mine.

Holy Ghost Spirit ridin’ high with me,
Wind through the cornfields, wild and free.
Radio up, chasing dreams coast to coast,
Rolling on faith and the Holy Ghost.

Might not know where the blacktop ends,
But I’ve got the road and I’ve got my friends.
Every mile’s another prayer I sing,
Holy Ghost Spirit, let that freedom ring.

Holy Ghost Spirit ridin’ high with me,
Wind through the cornfields, wild and free.
Radio up, chasing dreams coast to coast,
Rolling on faith and the Holy Ghost.

Holy Ghost Spirit Ridin' High with Me
