Grandma burned the biscuits,  nearly took the house down with it,

We knew she was too gone to drive, the day she parked on I-65,

Found her on the shoulder cryin, she didn't know where she was,

    C
A front porch light and a blue Desota,

  Am                             C
A couple of straws in a Coca-Cola-a,

A tear on his face down on a knee,
