Del Reeves - 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... 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
