So I'm taking y'all all over the south down a turn road on a creek bank.
[N] Any questions for me?
I don't write them all.
I do write, you know, when I first moved to Nashville
when I was 19 years old, you know, I know a little bit about songwriting and I met up with a buddy
of mine who's my best friend now.
His name's Forrest Glenn Whitehead, who I wrote turn roads with.
I wrote mm-mm-mm with and he's taught me a lot, you know, he's just he's one of them guys where
it's just god-given, you know, it's just his writing is just unbelievable and so he's taught
me a lot.
So yeah, I wrote five out of the eleven on the album so that's pretty cool, pretty cool.
That's a good question.
The single, which I'll play in a minute, have you heard it?
Oh okay,
you act like you did.
I was like, have you heard it?
It'll be out on iTunes February 12th and
hopefully be on a radio station near you.
June 3rd is the ad date so come on, call in and request it.
So yeah, I'm excited.
So sometime after June 3rd if the single starts doing well, we'll get the
So yeah, it's a good deal.
Well, I'm gonna slow it down real quick.
This song I didn't write.
I wish I would have.
It's one of them songs where when you hear it the first time, you're like, man,
I'm gonna sing that song for the rest of my life.
It's just one [F] of them songs and it really has a
special meaning to me now because [N] it's called Granddaddy's Gun and a week and a half ago,
we lost our granddaddy and I'm a huge hunter, you know, and I remember I'm a huge duck hunter too.
So this was back in duck season, which is a couple of months ago.
I was like, hey, granddad, can I
borrow your gun to go duck hunting in the morning?
And he's sitting there watching TV and he looks up
at me.
He says, son, there's two things I never lend.
That's my woman and that's my gun.
And I just smiled.
I was like, all right, then.
And so I was out on a radio tour when I got the
call.
You know, he's not doing well.
And by the time I got there, it was, you know, he was still
alive, but just not really all there.
And so my dad told me, he said he told my grandma, he said,
give Dylan that 12 gauge.
So that means a lot to me.
So this song has a special meaning to me.
It's called granddaddy's gun.
[G]
[D]
[D] [G]
She'll over the top of an old bird dog.
[D] Back to burglar [G] down when grandma pushed the [D] safety off
granddaddy's gun.
[G] It's just a double [D] barrel.
Well, the stock is cracked [Em] and it kicks like hell.
[G] It wouldn't mean what it means [D] to me to no one.
[G] I can hear his voice when I put it [D] to my shoulder.
Guns like a [Em] woman's son.
It's all in how you [G] hold her.
He taught me a whole lot more than how [D] to
hunt.
[A] One of these [G] days I'll pass it on [D] to my son.
Granddaddy's gun.
[G] [A]
Well, he handed it to me
on the [D] day I turned [G] 13.
With a half shot box of shells and a kid to keep to claim.
[D] I keep a picture in the [G] case of that sweet old man and man with granddaddy's [D] gun.
It's [G] just a double barrel.
Well, the stock is [Em] cracked and it kicks [G] like hell.
It wouldn't mean
what it means to me to [D] no one.
[G] I can hear his voice when I put it to [D] my shoulder.
Guns like [Em] a
woman's son.
It's all in how you hold her.
He taught [G] me a whole lot more than how [D] to hunt.
[G] And one of these days I'll pass it on to [D] my son.
[G] Granddaddy's gun.
[D] [G] There's a green head living on the living room wall [Em] with my duck [G] call and [D] granddaddy's gun.
Gun.
[G] There's a shot up stop sign on 49.
[A] Me and the boys [Em] took out one [G] night with [D] granddaddy's gun.
[G] Well, it sits above the mantle on a couple rusty nails.
And it's worth a bunch of money, but it dang sure ain't for sale.
[N] Thank y'all.
