Lyrics
Grampa's Silver Dollar It's just an old silver dollar my grandaddy carried It's more than a 100 years old With his dying breath he said I could have it Keep it and you'll never be broke I knew he wasn't talking 'bout money This silver dollar meant more than that It's a link to the things that he left behind A roadmap to memories we had (Chorus) Grampa never bought me a pony But he taught me how to ride out hard times He said our lives are made up of our choices And he showed me when and where to draw the line Grampa taught me how to roll with the punches How to stand tall when I wanted to run And he gave me this old silver dollar A reminder of all I had learned He said you'll think you're alone but I'll be in the shadows Forever I'll watch over you When you lose your way and you're down in the valley I'll show you a pathway that's true When you're standing high on the mountain Just know I'll be standing there too Through the highs and the lows wherever you go This dollar will keep me with you (REPEAT CHORUS) It's just an old silver dollar my grandaddy carried It's more than a 100 years old Lonnie C.
