lyrics

The phone rang he picked it up
We hopped in that old tan truck
No radio just the gravel road and stories

The vets were meeting for coffee
Like they do every so often
At that same MacDonalds

Well Grandad held court for a while
Walking back he stopped and smiled
Said well “Lookahere young man”

He pointed to a penny
Said if it was a snake it would have bit me
But don’t you dare pick it up

Cause tails side up means bad luck
So he flipped it and got back in the truck
He left the good luck for the next passerby

Cause tails means bad luck
And heads could turn it all around

Grandad taught me plenty
From how to ride a bike to bamboo rod fishing
And I never once saw him lose his cool

But the thing I’ll remember most
Is how he told a joke
And I’ll keep flipping pennies for the next passerby
