Grandma Was A Motor Lyrics

Now grandma was the only woman grandpa ever loved



At least that's what my grandpa told my dad



And Lord I used to like to sit and watch him reminisce



On the all times that he and grandma had







Grandma was a motor and the mainspring of his life



Forty some odd years she was his wife



Now an old man and his mem'ries keep a love affair alive



Grandma was a motor but she let my grandpa drive







Now grandpa said that grandma had the kindest kind of soul



And her beauty didn't die when she got old



And he said she could have herself a lot of other man



But that ain't how folks used to love back then







Grandma was a motor...



[ guitar ]



Now grandpa he ain't got a lot of time left in this world



But he don't seem to mind it much at all



Cause he says it's kind of lovely here without his blue eyed girl



And he can't wait till heaven comes to call







Grandma was a motor...



Grandma was a motor but she let my grandpa drive
