Grandpa campbell would sit upon his front porch

VERSE:
Well i left home and i went to carolina
I didn't sail off just to see what i could see
I did some things that i wasn't really proud of
Sometimes life just got the best of me
But i'd always think back to those days
And i know what grandmpa campbell would say
He'd say
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE:

I found me a woman who loves me just for me
All those mistakes i thought that i was making
Led me right here to you sittin' on my knee
Son as you walk through this life

REPEAT CHORUS
