Zac Brown - Grandma's Garden



[Verse 1]
Grandma had a garden in her backyard
She always had a way with things that grow
She'd be out there early in the springtime
Just as soon as she was sure it wouldn't snow
She said, "I love to watch the seeds I've planted
Grow up into what they ought to be."
I thought she was talking 'bout tomatoes
But she was talking about her family

[Chorus]
Grandma's garden, it grew up strong
'Cause she weeded out whatever could go wrong
She'd say, "The straight and narrow is toughest row to hoe."
Just remember what you reap is what you sow
Grandma's love is what made Grandma's garden grow

[Verse 2]
I went to church last Sunday morning
The same one she attended sixty years
They asked me I could say some words about her
And I got up fighting back tears
And I said, I used to watch her rake the rocks out
And tie up every vine with love and care
That little piece of ground taught me some lessons
And without her I wouldn't have a prayer
[Chorus]
Grandma's garden, it grew up strong
'Cause she weeded out whatever could go wrong
She'd say, "The straight and narrow is toughest row to hoe."
Just remember what you reap is what you sow
Grandma's love is what made Grandma's garden grow

[Bridge]
Some day when I have children of my own
AI'm watching them play
Someday when they grow up, I want to hear them say

[Chorus]
Grandma's garden, it grew up strong
'Cause she weeded out whatever could go wrong
She'd say, The straight and narrow is toughest row to hoe."
In the garden of the Father, now she's home
Grandma's love is what made Grandma's garden grow
