Vienna Teng - Grandmother Song |
| [00:04.00] |

|
| [00:08.00] |
|
| [00:09.47] |
oh girl you think you got time |
| [00:11.95] |
you're gonna get 'round to it way down the line |
| [00:14.49] |
but one step, two step, you fall behind |
| [00:16.82] |
so you better have a good plan |
| [00:18.74] |
|
| [00:19.49] |
oh girl you think you got time |
| [00:21.44] |
you're gonna get 'round to it way down the line |
| [00:23.58] |
but I'm telling you no matter what you have in mind |
| [00:26.09] |
you're still gonna need a man |
| [00:27.85] |
|
| [00:28.67] |
take it from your grandmother I've been 'round |
| [00:37.71] |
no one's gonna take care of you |
| [00:39.71] |
in that world you've got yourself into |
| [00:41.80] |
all the good boys, oh baby they're in grad school |
| [00:46.38] |
|
| [00:47.29] |
oh girl your story's all wrong |
| [00:49.48] |
your dream'll be a nightmare before too long |
| [00:51.69] |
turning thirty and still trying to sing your songs |
| [00:53.96] |
come on who do you think you are |
| [00:55.96] |
|
| [00:56.72] |
oh girl it's too heavy a load |
| [00:58.73] |
your mama and your baba they are worried souls |
| [01:01.01] |
how you gonna raise a family when you're on the road |
| [01:03.22] |
with some tattooed boy with a guitar |
| [01:05.23] |
|
| [01:06.10] |
take it from your grandmother I've been 'round |
| [01:14.77] |
this music career isn't real life |
| [01:17.05] |
it won't see you through to when you're sixty-five |
| [01:19.50] |
when the tide turns you won't survive |
| [01:22.42] |
you'll sit on the banks and cry |
| [01:32.99] |
|
| [01:50.58] |
oh girl you've never know war |
| [01:54.03] |
when they come in the night and knock on the door |
| [01:56.12] |
you can go from the high life to dirty poor |
| [01:58.52] |
and lose everything you knew |
| [02:00.74] |
|
| [02:01.48] |
but the one thing they can't take away from you |
| [02:03.62] |
is your mind and the education you've been through |
| [02:05.80] |
o you find a man who understands that too |
| [02:07.96] |
make sure that he stays true |
| [02:11.52] |
gives respect where its due |
| [02:13.96] |
make sure he knows what he's got in you |
| [02:18.11] |
|
| [02:18.91] |
because a woman isn't just for cooking meals |
| [02:21.29] |
scrubbing floors, making babies |
| [02:23.69] |
a woman's got ambitions same as he does |
| [02:26.17] |
maybe more |
| [02:27.77] |
|
| [02:28.40] |
when the sirens wailed and the bombs fell |
| [02:30.80] |
we ran from the schoolyard into hell |
| [02:32.89] |
and what we could've been time will never tell |
| [02:34.92] |
'cause we never had your chances |
| [02:37.39] |
the advantages that you've been handed |
| [02:44.28] |
|
| [03:10.56] |
take it from your grandmother I've been 'round |
| [03:20.63] |
