I Got The Guns - Roger Creager[00:00:00]
Written by:Roger Creager[00:00:12]
Little more than a few old guns handed[00:00:25]
Down the line[00:00:29]
Once owned by my nana and papa but now there mine[00:00:31]
They have been all the way to utah then back home[00:00:43]
To texas again[00:00:47]
They have seen colorado wyoming and the grand canyon[00:00:50]
Hunting trips in the freezing snow and up before the sun[00:00:56]
And now apart of me I got the guns[00:01:02]
I never really got to know him I was much[00:01:18]
To young[00:01:22]
He died on the corpus christi bay when I was one[00:01:24]
A christian man I barely knew but he was oh[00:01:36]
So proud of me[00:01:40]
He ran the nursery at the church for free[00:01:42]
Amazing grace how sweet the sound he always sung[00:01:48]
Sometimes I can hear when a fire his guns[00:01:54]
I've seen tears in grown men's eyes when they speak[00:02:01]
Of their grand dad[00:02:04]
Then they laugh at how he spoiled then to the bone[00:02:06]
I don't have those memories that I can hold on to[00:02:13]
So I keep hanging on to his old guns[00:02:19]
Nana lived on a few more years until christmas '79[00:02:35]
I thank god for those childhood memories of mine[00:02:41]
My sister told me in confidence her innocent secret birthday wish[00:02:53]
Dear lord bring nana back to us[00:02:59]
But instead she got her earrings old time clip ons[00:03:05]
And she had fun[00:03:09]
Me I was 8 years old and I got the guns[00:03:12]
I was only daughters son his pride and always love[00:03:28]
Maybe someday if I try my best I'll be half[00:03:33]
The man he was[00:03:37]
He knew love lasted longer the great depression only made[00:03:46]
Him stronger[00:03:50]
He saved his pennies and prayed to god each night[00:03:51]
He knew how to weather hard times and showed us[00:03:58]
How to overcome[00:04:02]
I can feel his strength when I hold his guns[00:04:04]
I've seen tears in grown men's eyes when they speak[00:04:11]
Of their granddad[00:04:14]
Then they laugh at how he spoiled then to the bone[00:04:16]
I wonder what he think about this[00:04:22]
Going out down here and make such a bash[00:04:26]
Love ohm so good[00:04:31]
Just fault diction twenty gage[00:04:45]
And my grandmothers fourth year[00:04:47]
270 that my dad fired once[00:04:51]
He brought a muler in[00:04:53]
