Heath, Brandon - Paul Brown Petty Lyrics

Sweet, sweet song. When men were men. God Bless.❤ Priceless.

Eu amo essa música, ela dá um conforto e um aperto ao mesmo tempo. Me faz pensar no meu avô..

First time hearing this... LOVED IT!!

What a beautifully written tribute to your grandfather ..loved it!

Reminds me of a brother I had

Yes, I am singing this to my children so my children can be raised right.

Heard this last night and got chills from it. wonderful song! I could feel your love for your Granddad. I miss mine as well. He was a good man too.

My old uncle jack is who i'm reminded of. He fought in ww2

love this song.

I love this song so much.  The beauty of a simple man doing his duty, living his life, and living under his Lord and Savior.

Made me think of my granddad. Papa Wally served in the Marines as a Sergeant at Iwo Jima and passed away last year.

This reminds me so much of my grandpa that recently pass thx Brandon this represents him and other good men like him im gonna miss him but i know where he is and that puts a smile on my face thank u for this song Brandon God bless

I feel bad about this but songs like this always make me a little envious for a grandfather like that. I am blessed that both my grandfathers are still alive, but somehow I find it so difficult to respect them. My family has been so broken and while it is humbling to see how God has brought my parents, who are dedicated followers of Jesus, from families that were so far from him, I wish I had kind, inspiring grandfathers like the one in this song - ones that I could actually be proud of.

My grandfather wasn't a barber or a vet but he sure knew how to make people love him. He died when I was 14 and this song makes me think of him so much. Rest In Peace Donnie Wayne Cox 10/29/10 I'll see you again someday ❤

My Grandpa died yesterday i tear up every time listen to this song.But god said it was his time 2 go :( i wish my grandpa was back i miss him so much now im going to go cry in my closet ;(

I know how u feel I listen to this song I just cry and think about the times I had with my grandpa but I know where he is and Im sad that he is not here with me but he's in such a greater place and resting, I know he fought the good fight and he finish the race called life and it was time for him to go home and when I think of him to know how happy he is im happy I don't cry out of sorry anymore for him but of joy knowing I will join him knowing that we're all gonna be part of one big family someday.

love the song and the music!

This is so fucking sad ;-;

@judy snider Hey, if you saw his heart in this you would look past the cuss word that was spoken. I do not encourage cussing, in fact it bothers me. But show him grace and let him grow. This is a heart touching song, and it seems to touch everyone. It is sad, but at the same time there is a hope and a joy and a peace in this song.

@judy snider Get over it. It's just a word. The point is, this is a sad song.

+Austin Jasay Words are not just words, they have power and the f-word is connected to have sex outside of marriage which the Bible prohibits and encourages it to be done in marriage between a husband and a wife. But I might agree with the rest of what you said except the get over it advice. God bless. Have a beautiful day!

@Will Powell actually, the word doesn't mean sex outside of marriage. It just means to have sex, but he clearly wasn't using it that way, so,although I don't personally use the word, I don't see the problem. God bless you, too. Btw, this was over a year ago lol

@Austin Jasay Actually the f-word is connected to sex outside of marriage. Another word for it is fornicating. So while the term is not always used in that context, it still has a negative connotation to it and that is the problem. Sorry you do not see it. As for things that were a year ago, if they caused me to be concerned I will respond when appropriate. God bless.

This makes me think about my grandpas. My one here down on earth and my other one living in heaven with my grandma and uncle. 

Congrats to Brandon on his wedding yesterday!  He finally found that love he sings so much about!

Amazing song and so powerful. I adore this song more than words.

GOD it's fuucking great 
i almost get cry...

He should do a music video of this song. Good song.

I've never had grandpa's, but if I did, I imagine he was like this. Thank you Brandon for giving me a glimpse of a grandfather figure. The Lord is great, forever loving and worthy of trusting. God bless you all <3

This is the story of my grandfather. Barber and all. Made me tear up. Thank you Brandon.

OMG this reminds me so much of my grandpa!!HE grew up in depression.AND my granpa also sings country.(although hes still alive.82 this year)

it reminds me of my grandpa <3 to my dad <3 to me.... except I'm a girl hahaha <3 but still. Love it. Love songs with stories written in them. not much of that anymore.
BTW- Looking for people to Join my group called - Jesus said to pick up your cross daily and follow him - on FaceBook! Its a new group! So if you JOIN and post but no one rights back right away do not get discouraged! JUST KEEP POSTING!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

I honestly cant stop listening to this song!!!!!!!!

does anyone else think Brandon sounds like Jackson Browne, especially on his Blue Mountain CD?

Why do I think this is so sad?? :( But I can't stop listening to it! 3

abbyandmandieshow I think it must be the level of heart that comes across in his amazing voice.

best song ever ;')

Love, love, love it! Reminds me of my Daddy and Granddaddy.

This reminds me of my Grandpa, too and I like the country style!

this song... actually brought tears to my eyes.........wow.....

This song is amazing....

What a great song this is one to stay

Im thankful, because even though we have lots of problems
we still keep each other keep forever :)

My grandpa died last month. His name was actually Paul Petty. I swear this song was made just for hm... RIP.

I can relate to this, My grandad was in WWI, he died before I was born... He had 7 kids... My mom was the youngest, and if he died in the war, I wouldn't be here. he wasn't always a christian but died as a christian. I Love him even though I never met him!

I love this song<3

OMG! I did too and it was so amazing to be there to fellowship with all these other Christians. It was so uplifting and I had an awesome time. When the concert ended I felt so peaceful....and listened to KSBJ the whole way home and I sang every song as loud as I could and it was so......just wow.....I still don't have the words to describe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw you in Lake Charles, Louisiana the other night! You and Mandisa were amazing!! Jamie is still in my prayers! Love y'all and hope that you keep singing the word of God! Thanks for inspiring me!

Saw him live last night and he performed this song. It was truly amazing and I just fell in love with it

Heard this in concert last night - just love it

Even though I've never met any of my grandparents, it just touched my heart when you sang "Paul Brown Petty was my granddad" :') my dad did die when I was 10, so I can sort of relate to this song. Of course, I can always relate to every single song you sing :) I really hope to see you in April at the 3-in-1!!

OMG(SH) I love this song I can actually relate to this song like Paul Brown Petty is My Granddad I know Hes probably not with us anymore but I still think as if hes really with me because I have a granddad and Hes perfectly describing Him and that makes me feel warm inside thank you Brandon I been listening to this song since 5:00 when I heard it on Pandora and I replayed it on you tube for so long and I cried when I heard it THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT You gave me closure and I love you for it TY

Awesome song, one of those songs that just touch you somewhere deep inside.

I also never meet my papa on my dad side, he died a few months after I was born. I learned that he was with the 79th infantry unit in Europe and was a Staff Sergeant, I currently hold the rank of Staff Sergeant also and with in a month or so I am getting my papa's patch tattooed on me to keep me remember he's there. My papa also was a Christian can't wait to see him and see how proud he is of me.

Beautiful a life well lived personified

awe thats so sweet :)

I never met my grandfather on my dad's side and he died
but I know I'll meet him in heaven :) nice song Brandon

LOVE this song. Please check out my channel. Comment,Rate, Subscribe. Thanks!!!-Josh

Glória Deus por Brandon Heath!

Talented, singing right from your heart. Love is enough and this love song, is so good, it makes me remember all those good old boys. Simple life. No one needs a TV. We've got a radio that plays Brandon Heath, who has a Grampa really proud of him. Love is there.

This makes me miss my dad and my grandpa. What a crappy year its been...

this is about his PAPA

I wish every man in the USA rather the world was like Brandon hes such a good guy

Wow. I'm a kid and that almost makes me cry.

Thank you Brandon, reminds me of my own grandpa. He wasn't famous either, but he was well beloved in his little town. Always felt loved and safe around him. God Bless you for sharing this sweet song :)

aww it makes me want to cry tears of joy Godbless you brandon your a Godly man and thank you Lord for your son Jesus Christ my risen Lord and Savior

This is my favorite song on the cd, next to Jesus in disguise.

I've never meet my grandfathers, they died before I born. But I have my grandma, that I love more than I love my own life. Hear someone sing about his grandfather just make me smile, because I may never knew my grandfathers, but in some way I can say that I did know them. Because my parents are who they are because of them. May God bless my grandparents.

why am i crying? :(

Something to pick up as a role model - for us all.

This song reminds me of my grandfather. So many similarities. I miss him.

Beautiful! =)

Herman MacIlwraith was a good ol' man-- pillar of faith;man of God;devoted family man; steadfast;hard-worker;hero;true friend & mentor;a light on earth that radiated his Saviour, Jesus. He was my Poppy. His example provided a glimpse of my father God. I miss him terribly. Looking forward to standing reunited in glory. Blessed to have a pop who lived such an exemplary life. Our grandpops were cut from the same mould. Bless you, Brandon, for your dear heart. You've done your grandad & Jesus proud.

You're right, I grew up not knowing my Grandma or Grandpa, but you know what? I still have God, I am a child of the Most High. I don't look at the memories that people can give me, but the memories that God will give me.

soo beautiful :')

It is such a blessing to have had Grandparents. Many people have not experienced the love, the wisdom, the sharing of life-stories, as well as teachings because they never knew their Grandma or pa. What cherished memories they give us!

Cool!!!

i cried :)

Brandon will always have one of the most greatest voices. It's is an acquired sound.

i don't even know what to say to describe how i feel about this song

awww, how beautiful... lovely story. Your vocals bring it, sweet and calm, and very typical for all you put out... nice job Mr. Heath! You are loved dearly.

aw Brandon, it's hard to lose your grandfather...I watched mine go. But at least we know we'll see them on the other side. Definition of a real man

AWESOME Brandon!
