Grandma Was A Motor Lyrics - Del Reeves

Now grandma was the only woman grandpa ever loved 

At least that's what my grandpa told my dad 

And Lord I used to like to sit and watch him reminisce 

On the all times that he and grandma had 

Grandma was a motor and the mainspring of his life 

Forty some odd years she was his wife 

Now an old man and his mem'ries keep a love affair alive 

Grandma was a motor but she let my grandpa drive 

Now grandpa said that grandma had the kindest kind of soul 

And her beauty didn't die when she got old 

And he said she could have herself a lot of other man 

But that ain't how folks used to love back then 

Grandma was a motor... 

[ guitar ] 

Now grandpa he ain't got a lot of time left in this world 

But he don't seem to mind it much at all 

Cause he says it's kind of lovely here without his blue eyed girl 

And he can't wait till heaven comes to call
