Don't Ask Me About A Woman

I was sittin' with him on his front porch swing
 Soakin' up wisdom and Grandma's sweet tea
 Listenin' to his stories, man, he'd done it all
 His tour in the Army and his wilder days
 Raisin' my daddy and bailing his hay
 He cut off a twist of tobacco, stuck it in his jaw
 Cocked back his hat with a sideways grin
 And gave me that old wink
 He said, "I could tell you somethin'
 'Bout most anything"
 "But don't ask me 'bout a woman
 All I know is, boy, they're somethin'
 They're tender and they're tough
 Can break it down and lift you up
 Don't ask me 'bout a woman
 That's some complicated stuff
 They ain't made to figure out
 They're just made to love"
 He said, "Boy, I've lived nearly eighty years
 There's a lot of know how between these ears
 But when it comes to your Grandma
 I'm still your age"
 "It took me a long, long time to learn
 Lovin' a woman is full of left turns
 The more they change
 The more they stay the same"
 "Son, it's been that way
 Since the beginnin' of time
 We're behind the wheel
 But just along for the ride"
 "But don't ask me 'bout a woman
 All I know is, boy, they're somethin'
 They're tender and they're tough
 Can break it down and lift you up
 Don't ask me 'bout a woman
 That's some complicated stuff
 They ain't made to figure out
 They're just made to love"
 Fast forward ten years, it's Saturday night
 She's changed three times
 Says her hair ain't right
 My mind reels back to the time and place
 When I heard my Grandpa say
 "Don't ask me about a woman
 Boy, that's some complicated stuff
 They ain't made to figure out
 They're just made to love"
 Now I know what he's talkin' about
 They're just made to love
