Story Behind The Song

There is something about visiting my grandparents that is so restful to me. I actually wrote this at their house!

Song Description

"Granny's Resort" talks about the slow pace of Southern living, and the relaxing change it can be for someone who lives full speed ahead!

Lyrics

Granny?s Resort

Down the mountain parkway,

Just past the natural bridge,

In a little sleepy hollow,

That?s where my Grandma lives.

Whe I need a hideaway,
There?s no better place,
So I pack my bags, and head down south,
And I spend a couple of days.

CHORUS:

Nothin? to do, no place to go,

Read a good book, watch the garden grow,

Take a shopping trip to the old thrift store,

Get a little sleep, read a little more,

Wash up the dishes from breakfast and then,

Come back to the table, it?s time to eat again,

Forget about your problems, just leave ?em at the door,

No, you can?t beat Granny?s little country resort.

C2:

Ev?nin? comes around, friends stop by,
Chicken-n- dumplin?s, fried apple pies,
Get out the guitars and we?ll sing some old hymns,
Grandpa tells us stories ?bout way back when,
Watch an old western when the sun goes down,
Sit out on the porch, hear the ev?nin? sounds,
If your burdens are heavy, we?ll take ?em to the Lord,
So, until we get to heaven, there?s Granny?s resort!
