I was at the funeral of a family member recently and was looking at some of the old family photos. What a different time it was for me growing up. My world was a piece of Beech Nut chewing gum that was handed to me by my Grandpa while he sang the Mail Pouch Tobacco song. In life as in just about everything else, simpler is better. As I told a cousin, a little hillbilly blood helps to keep you humble.

I remember when my Grandpa would take me by the hand
just a boy in that West Virginia town
he’d walk down to the river
put his fingers to his lips
Say quiet son don’t even make a sound
We’d listen to the water as it went rollin past
throw sticks and watch them float away downstream
Not a care in the world of an old man and a boy
Those days were like living in a dream
Was the time of year in Summer when the sunshine feels strong
Afternoons were wasted in the shade
Ain’t no time to hurry on days that seemed so long
while life keeps getting shorter every day
We’d walk across a wooden bridge that took us into town
waving to the people in the square
grandpa seemed to know everyone that came along
He told me once that he’d been everywhere
I came back for the funeral nearly everyone was gone
it had come to pass the factories all closed down
surely i was lucky to have seen the way it was
before the hard times fell upon that town
Was the time of year in Summer when the sunshine feels strong
Afternoons were wasted in the shade
Ain’t no time to hurry on days that seemed so long
while life keeps getting shorter every day

Definitely hits close to home for me as well. Love the way the fiddle and your vocals play off one another, and the groove got my foot tapping in about 10 seconds. As others have mentioned as well, the mix on this is superb.
