Pointed toe boots
Starched khaki pants
A smile as big as that old straw hat
Down at the cafe, at a half past four
He's wait for the waitress to unlock the door
His hearing was gone
His vision was dim
But he's smile just in case you where talking to him
He was a stranger outside of his town
But, down at the cafe they all knew him well
Grandpa was just like that
And he left a mark on the people he met
Folks say he had somethin' that money can't buy
And i'm glad I know what it was
Cause the only day he stayed away from that cafe
Was Sunday
Cause that was the lords
He's wrote me a scripture and he say now
Here's what that means
A sinner is somethin' you don't have to be
Then he'd give me a quarter that he called two bits
Yeah grandpa was just like that
And when it was his time to pass from this life
He smiled real big and just closed his eyes
Now somewhere in heaven
Down some street of gold
In a cafe he sit.
Where he'll never grow old
Grandpa was just like that
And he left a mark on the people he meet
Folks say he had Somethin' that money can't buy
And i'm glad I know what it was
Cause the only day he stayed away from the cafe
Cause that was the lords
He was a stranger outside of his town
But up in heaven they all know him well
