Forty two and my granddad was drafted by the army They send him off to fight over in Germany Left my grandma at home With a brand new baby boy And my mom was born The day they bomb Hiroshima Not long after that My granddad got to meet her Got a job and commuted from Alabama to Kentucky But still he would have told you he was lucky Just to watch his pretty bride Pushing baby's down the street And the way that the cars Are backed up behind her The way that the traffic cop Lined up behind her Now granddads lost his mind 'Cause he'd rather not remember anymore And he refuses to stop driving So grandma's locked his keys next door And he spend his days Just a looking around, looking around But he's forgotten what he's looking for He's forgotten what he's looking for
