Porch light on, listening to the cricket's sound
Grandpa's in his chair, sweet tea in his hand
That old chair's heard a few good tales
Holds the memory and the wishes of an old wise man

I've heard, "boy don't grow up to be a thief
Be an honest man
Earn an honest dollar and
Always do the best you know you can
Love your family more than you can stand
Always show you care"
Oh, I sure have learned a lot
From this old rocking chair

Twenty-two years later
Got a baby and and wife
Working like a dog just trying to stay alive
I come home and she's in one of those moods
Said, "Baby come out side, I want to talk to you
Pull a seat up, kick your feet up
I want to show you, while I hold you
I'm going to be here for the rest of your life

I've always been an honest man
And helped you anyway I can
Earned an honest dollar and
Always done, the best I know I can
Loved my family more than I could stand
Always showed I care
Oh, I sure have been through a lot
With this old rocking chair"

Now my baby's grown up
Got to kids of her own
Pick them up from school everyday and bring them home
Horseplay all afternoon
Just like I use to do
The look on my face
They say, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

I said, "boys don't grow up to be a thief
Be an honest man
Earn an honest dollar and
Always do the best you know you can
Love your family more than you can stand
Always show you care
Oh, I hope you two learn a lot
Oh, I know you two learn a lot
From this old rocking chair
