Rocking Chair Lyrics by The Callies

On Your Side

0

Sitting by the fire in an old rocking chair
Like my granddaddy taught me to do
Listening intently to the words he gonna tell me
Because in my mind, I knew they were true
He said he'd sail the seven seas in ships with tall masts and sails
And he'd ridden from London to Leeds in one day
As I've walked the paths of time, I've discovered many things
Things that I had to force myself to do
Like study and find a job, take a wife and feed my kids
And I did them cos I thought they were nеw
But I never sailed thе seven seas in ships with tall masts and sails
I never rode from London to Leeds in one day
As I've gone through my life, I've collected many assets
And folks say that I'm successful as can be
Ah, but my granddaddy died without a penny to his name
He was a damn sight more successful than me
Because he'd sailed the seven seas in ships with tall masts and sails
And he'd ridden from London to Leeds in one day
And now I'm gazing at the fire from an old rocking chair
And I'm thinking of the times around me now
I'm searching for a yarn to tell my own grandson
And I'm a-wishing to God that time was disallowed
So I can sail the seven seas in ships with tall masts and sails
And ride from London to Leeds in one day
