Seventy-Five From Nineteen
Written By: Brent Beamer
My Grandma & Grandpa drink beer in their garage
They like to go out there and drink a few beers at their bar
I don't know what they talk about,
But it's got to be the years
They met when they were nineteen, and they've loved a lifetime
The stories from the hall make you teary-eyed
The stories of my Mama make me die inside
Lay a coaster on the bar & take a break
Their simple way of living is going away
They were nineteen in nineteen sixty-three
Grandpa drove a wrecker to make ends meet
They were living in a little house off Main Street
Been a lifetime, seventy-five from nineteen
75' on a jeep ride across the farm
A night when they were catfishing the Middle Fork
They say they don't know how they made it this far
There were some lean years in the 80's,
But Grandpa never saw another lady
That made him feel the way my Grandma did
Grandma never wanted to be held by another man
After fifty-six years there's still things they don't know
They know a lifetime of love and loss
They were nineteen in nineteen sixty-three
Grandpa drove a wrecker to make ends meet
They were living in a little house off Main Street
Been a lifetime, seventy-five from nineteen
