Willie Nelson - When I Was Young And Grandma Wasn't Old Lyrics






Front porch sittin in an old rockin chair
The sun is hot in the Texas sky
Garden growin clothes out on the line
Dusty road when a car goes by

Story tellin of days long ago
And the only place she'd ever been
Singin softly This World Is Not My Home
Memories take me back again

When I was young and Grandma wasn't old
When she guided me as I watched life unfold
Anything we didn't have we didn't really need to hold
When I was young and Grandma wasn't old

She'd throw a party and all of her friends
Would gather around the quilting frames
They'd always call out for me to come inside
And give me nickels and dimes to sing

It makes me happy that I can still go back
My memories are so clear
Of how It used to be when I never dreamed
Of ever lookin back from here

When I was young and Grandma wasn't old
When she guided me as I watched life unfold
Anything we didn't have we didn't really need to hold
When I was young and Grandma wasn't old
When I was young and Grandma wasn't old

    Wow ~ What a very beautiful song! Amazing how your music & the lyrics touch my heart & soul! No matter how bummed I feel your music brings a smile to my face. Lovely, lovely, lovely song. Wish that I could give you a great BIG hug for the inner peace & serenity your voice & music gives me. So very cool because it does make me feel young again & it brings back my memories of my Grandma. She loved to play the piano like your sister Bobby. She played by ear & she played at church. You are so very cool Willie Nelson ~ just got to tell you I LOVE YOU!
