Van Zant lyrics : "Help Somebody"

Well grandaddy was a hillbilly scholar,
blue collar of a man...
He came from the school

where you didn't need nothin' if you couldn't make it with your own two hands
He was backwoods, backwards, used words like:
no sir, yes ma'am, by god, be darned, hell yeah I'm American..

and all the years he walked this earth
I swear all he did was work.
He said the devil dreams on an idle horse

so you listen to me squirt..

Don't get too high on a bottle,

and get right with the man.
Fight your fights, find your grace
and all the things that you can't change, and help somebody if you can


Now Granny said sonny
stick to your gun if you believe in something

no matter what
cause it's better to be hated for who you are
Than beloved for what you're not.

She was 5 feet of concrete
New York born and raised on a slick city street.
She'll stare you down, stand her ground,

still kickin' and screamin' at 93
I remember just how frail she looked
in that hospital bed

taking her last few breaths of life
and smiling as she said


Don't get too high on a bottle,
just a little sip every now and then,
fight your fights,

find your grace,
and all the things that you can't change
and help somebody if you can,

and get right with the man

I never let a cowboy make the coffee

yeah thats what Granny always said to my Grandad
and he'd say never tell a joke
that ain't that funny more than once

and if you wanna hear God laugh,
tell Him your plans


Don't get too high on a bottle,
get right with the man, son.
fight your fights,

find your grace,
and all the things you two can't change
and help somebody if you can

and get right with the man

and get right with the man
