The Bottom Line ©2005 Ronald G Brown and Katy Powers
My grandpa was the owner of an old tobacco farm
Til he learned what he was growin? might cause people harm
So he turned to raisin' cotton? He just loved to work the land
Things like that made a young kid understand...
Chorus:
When he?d say boy, you be strong as changes come your way
Suck it up and take 'em on with dignity and grace
N? as hard as it may be...
Cause some steps are tough to climb
Just be glad you see the stairs
And that's the bottom line
Verse:
He loved to tell me stories of the war he helped to win
There in all his glory, sportin' a proud grin
Left his cotton fields behind to defend another?s land
Things like that made a young man understand...
Chorus:
When he?d say boy, you be strong as changes come your way
Suck it up and take 'em on with dignity and grace
N? as hard as it may be...
Cause some steps are tough to climb
Just be glad you see the stairs
And that's the bottom line
Bridge:
One day I got a call that he was in the ICU
I got there just in time and cried ?Grandpa, it?s too soon?
He winked at me and whispered ?The Lord says it?s my time??
?I?m just glad to see the stairs and that?s the bottom line?
Chorus:
Then he said, ?Boy, you be strong as changes come your way
Suck it up and take those changes on with dignity and grace
N? as hard as it may be...
Cause some steps are tough to climb
Just be glad you see the stairs
And that's the bottom line?
