Verse1
Grandpa lived for country music
Always played his songs for me
When I was four I told him
A country singer's what I'd be
Verse2
At seven I was singing a song
And my Grandpa sat and stared
Said my voice was from heaven
A gift from God to be shared.
Chorus1
His love for country music
Was my Grandpa 's gift to me
I knew from when I was little
Singing was my destiny
Verse3
By the time I reached eleven
I would sing to my hometown crowd
I could see my Grandpa watching
And I knew I made him proud
Bridge
Well my grandpa sold his house and left town without a backward glance
We all moved to Nashville so as to give me my big chance
Verse4
So I reached my sixteenth year
And had a lot of success
Worked real hard to live my dream
Just doing what I love best
Chorus1
His love for country music
Was my Grandpa 's gift to me
I knew from when I was little
Singing was my destiny
Tag
And when folk ask what moment made me feel most proud
I'd say when my Grandpa came on stage and together we both bowed
Chorus1
His love for country music
Was my Grandpa 's gift to me
I knew from when I was little
That singing was my destiny
Singing was my destiny
