Lyrics
THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE
WORDS & MUSIC BY CRAIG JACOBSON
I CAN?T FOR GET GRANDPAS FARM
THE ROOSTER CROWIN IN THE MORN
GRANDMA?S HOME MADE CORNBREAD THE SMELL OF COUNTRY HAM BRINGS BACK THOSE MEMORIES
THAT MEAN SO MUCH TO ME
THOSE WERE THE BEST DAYES OF MY LIFE
I CAN?T FORGET THOSE SUMMER DAYS
DOIN CHORES AND GRANDPAS GAMES
GRANDMA IN THE BACK YARD HANGIN CLOSE TO DRY
IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW
I WOULD HAVE THANKED THEM BOTH SOME HOW
FOR THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE
I STILL HEAR THE RAIN DROPS ON THAT OLD TIN ROOF
BEATIN OUT THE RYTHUM WHEN THE STORMS CAME THOUGH
FIVE KIDS IN AN OLD FEATHER BED
THINKIN GRANDPA AND GRANDMA ARE THE BEST
I CAN?T FORGET
I THANK GOD EVERYDAY FOR A CHILDHOOD THAT WAS BLESSED
I?LL THANK GRANDPA AND GRANDMA WHEN I SEE THEM AGAIN
I CAN?T FORGET WHEN GRANDPA DIED
GRANDMA CRYED AND CRYED AND CRYED
SHE COULD?NT EVEN LIVE THREE MONTHS WITHOUT THE MAN SHE LOVED
LIFE GOES ON NOW THERE BOTH GONE BUT THEIR MEMORYS LIVE ON AS THE BEST DAYES OF MY LIFE
I STILL HEAR THE RAIN DROPS ON THAT OLD TIN ROOF
BEATIN OUT THE RYTHUM WHEN THE STORMS CAME THOUGH
FIVE KIDS IN AN OLD FEATHER BED
THINKIN GRANDPA AND GRANDMA ARE THE BEST
I CAN?T FORGET
I CAN?T FORGET
I WON?T FORGET
HOW CAN I FORGET
THOSE WERE THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE
