Lyrics
Grandpa Was A Rock Star ©2003 Jeff Hinton/Quint Randle
Up in Grandma?s attic in a stack of old LPs
Grandpa kept a secret hid since 1963
But last year at Thanksgiving he was rockin? in chair
When someone found the record and brought it back downstairs
Me ?n? cousin Kenny took and put that record on
The voice was so familiar but we didn?t know the song
CHORUS
Yeah, Grandpa was a singer in a rockin? ?50s band
He opened up for Elvis once and had a lot crazy fans
They even had a single that was climbing up the charts
It was sure bizarre
Him playing that guitar
But Grandpa Willie really was a rock star
V2
So we all climbed back up those stairs, shocked in disbelief
And found a bunch of pictures in an old fan magazine
And there behind a dusty desk sat his old Les Paul
Right beside a Fender amp with the tweed all pellin? off
So I picked that guitar up and put it in his hand
Grandpa slowly strapped it on and man he still could jam
CHORUS
SOLO (Grandpa Jamming)
CHORUS
Tag: Yeah, Grandpa Willie really was.... a rock star
