Aaron Lewis - Granddaddy's Gun [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
It sits above the mantel, on a couple rusty nails
It ain't worth a lot of money, and it damn sure ain't for sale
The good Lord only knows all the stories it could tell
My granddaddy's gun


He bought it new out of the Sears-Roebuck catalog
And it shot a many a shells over the back of an old bird dog
It backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off
Granddaddy's gun

[Chorus]
It's just an old double barrel twelve
The stock is cracked and it kick's like hell
It wouldn't mean what mean's to me, to no one

I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
A guns like a woman son, it's all how you hold her
Taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt

And one of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson
My granddaddy's gun

[Verse 2]
He handed it to me on the day I turned thirteen
With a half shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean
I keep a picture in the case of that sweet old man and me
Granddaddy's gun

[Chorus]
It's just an old double barrel twelve
The stock is cracked and it kick's like hell
It wouldn't mean what mean's to me, to no one

I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
A guns like a woman son, it's all how you hold her
Taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt

One of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson
My granddaddy's gun

[Verse 3]
There's a long beard hangin' on the livin' room wall
That I got with a box call and, granddaddy's gun
And there's a shot up sign out there on 49
That me and Billy Joe shot up one night with, granddaddy's gun

[Outro]
Well it sits above the mantel on a couple rusty nails
It ain't worth a lot of money and it damn sure ain't for sale
