[Verse 1]
I hardly take it off this wrist of mine
It only works about half the time
He promised it to me when I was a kid
Now I wear it just like he did
A-tellin' stories on the porch swing
Lightin' up a Phillies cigar
But it's more than just a time piece on my left arm
[Chorus]
It's a hug your mama, save your money
Talk to Jesus, love your country
Hunt and fish as much as you can
Don't take a minute for granted
These days it ain't good at tellin' time
But it tells me a lot about livin' this life
On granddaddy's watch
[Verse 2]
It's probably only worth about twenty bucks
Band's faded now, second hand gets stuck
But that ain't the stuff that matters to me
It's a symbol of the man that I wanna be
It's a constant reminder from a wise old timer
[Chorus]
To hug your mama, save your money
Talk to Jesus, love your country
Hunt and fish as much as you can
Don't take a minute for granted
These days it ain't good at tellin' time
But it tells me a lot about livin' this life
On granddaddy's watch
Grandaddy's watch
[Bridge]
He's watchin' over me up there, I know
And down here, he's with me everywhere I go
[Chorus]
Sayin' you hug your mama, save your money
Talk to Jesus, love your country
Hunt and fish as much as you can
Don't take a minute for granted
These days it ain't good at tellin' time
But it tells me a lot about livin' this life
On granddaddy's watch
Grandaddy's watch
[Outro]
I hardly take it off this wrist of mine
It only works about half the time
I hardly take it off this wrist of mine
It only works about half the time
He promised it to me when I was a kid
Now I wear it just like he did
A-tellin' stories on the porch swing
Lightin' up a Phillies cigar
But it's more than just a time piece on my left arm
[Chorus]
It's a hug your mama, save your money
Talk to Jesus, love your country
Hunt and fish as much as you can
Don't take a minute for granted
These days it ain't good at tellin' time
But it tells me a lot about livin' this life
On granddaddy's watch
[Verse 2]
It's probably only worth about twenty bucks
Band's faded now, second hand gets stuck
But that ain't the stuff that matters to me
It's a symbol of the man that I wanna be
It's a constant reminder from a wise old timer
[Chorus]
To hug your mama, save your money
Talk to Jesus, love your country
Hunt and fish as much as you can
Don't take a minute for granted
These days it ain't good at tellin' time
But it tells me a lot about livin' this life
On granddaddy's watch
Grandaddy's watch
[Bridge]
He's watchin' over me up there, I know
And down here, he's with me everywhere I go
[Chorus]
Sayin' you hug your mama, save your money
Talk to Jesus, love your country
Hunt and fish as much as you can
Don't take a minute for granted
These days it ain't good at tellin' time
But it tells me a lot about livin' this life
On granddaddy's watch
Grandaddy's watch
[Outro]
I hardly take it off this wrist of mine
It only works about half the time
