Lyrics John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp

Grandview

Just an old country boy, wearing my Osh-Kosh boots

Walked by the trailer factory, every day on my way to school

Early on in life, the only thing I wanted to do

Was buy me a trailer and move it down to Grandview

Got out of high school, got on at Whirpool

Bought me a car, two guitars and everything

Me and Patty were falling in love before the summer was through

I started thinking about trailers and high lots in Grandview

It was a scorching summer night, we just left the dairy bar

We was sitting out on Ridgeland Road in the front seat of my car

I said "Patty, if you marry me babe, I'll take good care of you

I'll buy a brand new trailer and move it down to Grandview"

She said "Ah your wedding song, it sounds real nice

And I could sure get off on sleeping with you at night

But I tell ya what baby, you want me, here's what to do

I want a brick home like my mother's, ain't movin' down to Grandview"

That's what she told me

There's been a lot of years, a lot of debt, a lot of pain

Our youngest baby's movin' out when she gets married next spring

When the bash is over, I'll tell you what I'm going to do

I got my trailer picked out, gonna move it down to Grandview

I got this 28 by 70 double-wide

We could slide it on in there, honey

We can chock those wheels real good

I want it settin' nice and level

Back it on in there boys

And don't get no mud on my front porch

Cause the son of a b*tch is brand spankin' new, baby

Stick it into Grandview

Stick it into Grandview

Slide it on in there, honey

Stick it into Grandview
