THE  WICKED SMILE, TOO
My grandpa raised us out on the farm
Keepin the family so safe and so warm
If he's still alive, he'd be livin' there yet
He told me live your life, ain't no room for regret
Cuz the harder you work, the luckier you get

He'd get up before dawn feed the cattle and hens
Get more work done then than a dozen other men
We'd walk each evening down the property line
Said that men who don't try, end up alone and cryin
If it don't work out, at least you give your all tryin

Grandpa taught me most what I know
Telling good folk from bad by the seeds that they sow
What I remember the most, what he said was so true
Watch out son, the wicked smile, too

A grifter came there, smooth talking and slick
Tried to scam the old man, he tried every trick
Gramps said a firm no and he showed him the door
When the man got rough, gramps shot him dead on the floor
Yeah, he shot that grifter, dead on the floor

CHORUS

The smoke hung heavy, took a while to thin
Grandpa headed for the barn with a humorless grin
He took the old Ford tractor, dug a six foot ditch
And I helped him bury that son of a bitch
Yeah, watch out, son, the wicked smile, too.

CHORUS
