Here’s To You 2 (Fox...

Written by Fox Beyer

Chicken's cackle
Transistor static
Hot pot of decaf
And butter pecan

Sawdust driveway
Leftovers in the microwave
Bourbon cabinet
Grandpa on a ladder

You got Shirley Temple, Katharine Hepburn, on that old black & white t.v.
Quilts in the livin' room, Chanel sweet perfume, and your - dancin' feet

So here's to [you], Rice Krispies,
Feelin' young, 29 forever
To [yellow] roses, flowered sheets
And makin' home into heaven

You [taught] me all 'bout [doin'] right, and all ‘bout bein' true
And [all] your pearls of wisdom, startin' with, that golden rule

So [thank] you Gram, for all you are and do - here's to you

Forty-five records
Handwritten letters
Apples in milk crates
Ice [cold] lemonade

Packs of licorice
Family photos on the fridge
Yellow scribble pads
Cheese [in] a rat trap

You got Crosswords on the table,
Old book ‘bout Cain and Abel,
Cake coolin' on the counter
Lovin'-up your grandkids was your - superpower

So here's to you-
Fried chicken, Bloomingdale's and dancin' crazy
Figurines, 8-track machines and all the best of Dean and Sammy

And [something] else you [probably] never thought, or never knew But I [think] all my best parts of me, well, they came from you
One [day] I'm hopin’ to [have] some grandkids too

And I'll [pay] it forward, all that [love] I got from you
When the Lord [calls] me home, I'll [look] for you -

-Here's to you
