Don't Ask Me About A Woman

I was sittin with him on his front porch swing

Soaking up wisdom and Grandma's sweet tea

Listening to his stories, man, he'd done it all

His tour in the Army and his wilder days

Raising my daddy and bailing his hay

He cut off a twist of tobacco, stuck it in his jaw

Cocked back his hat with a sideways grin and

gave me that ole wink

He said, I can tell you something 'bout

most anything

But don't ask me about a woman

All I know is boy they're something

They're tender and they're tough

Can break it down and lift you up

Don't ask me about a woman

That's some complicated stuff

They ain't made to figure out

They're just made to love

He said, boy I've lived nearly eighty years

There's a lot of know how between these ears

But when it comes to your grandma

I'm still your age

It took me a long, long time to learn

Loving a woman is full of left turns

The more they change, the more they stay

the same

Son, it's been that way since the

beginning of time

We're behind the wheel but just along for

the ride

But don't ask me about a woman

All I know is boy they're something

They're tender and they're tough

Can break it down and lift you up

Don't ask me about a woman

That's some complicated stuff

They ain't made to figure out

They're just made to love

Fast forward ten years it's Saturday night

She's changed three times, says her hair

ain't right

My mind reels back to the time and place

When I heard my grandpa say

Don't ask me about a woman

Boy, that's some complicated stuff

They ain't made to figure out

They're just made to love

Now I know what he's talkin about

They're just made to love
