I remember drifting off in my king-size bed and waking up in his short-bed Ford
He was lit up like that road he never took me down before
So when you ask me how I slept last night, girl, I don't believe I did
Call me crazy, but I think Grandpa picked me up about half past ten
* We took a ride around and talked about the way back when's and the "I know now"
Somewhere past them stars and clouds, I swear I saw the light
Now he ain't but a prayer away from one more Sunday drive
We took a ride around Heaven last night
With that Beech-Nut in his jaw 'neath the beard without no gray
He laughed about me crying on the day he flew away
He turned up "Amazing Grace", and we both sang along
He said, "I better get you back and get on home 'fore Grandma knows I'm gone."

It felt so real, I could hear them Goodyears pulling out the front gate
So real, I wouldn't doubt if there's an oil spot in the driveway
