Вступление
[Verse 1]
She's pretty good today
The mousy the nurse whispers
Judge Judy's voice, it crawls down the hall
Grandma calls me Paul
Paul was her baby
And I go along so she don't get confused
[Chorus]
Cause when grandpa went to heaven
Grandma started slipping
The kids sold the house to put her in a home
She's already in the dark
That old bird will never know
The terrifying truth about getting too old
[Verse 2]
Now christmas brings joy
If only temporary
The real uncle Paul hauls up all the way from Georgia
All he talks about is trafic
And a particular Martini
He was a real momma's boy til it came time to pay
[Chorus]
Cause when grandpa went to heaven
Grandma started slipping
The kids sold the house to put her in a home
The guns and the good silver
Were the first things to go
That's the terrifying truth about getting too old
[Verse 3]
Now she steamrolled downhill
Faster than we all imagined
We put her in the ground early spring
And I've heard of this before
But I'd never seen it happen
I guess she couldn't handle the waiting game
[Chorus]
Cause when grandpa went to heaven
Grandma went to heaven
The kids sold the house to cover the stone
She's somewhere now better
Don't believe what you are told
The terrifying truth about getting too old
Oh the terrifying truth about getting too old
