The Stubborn One

They say that smokin' ain't allowed in here
But I don't care, I'll try to sneak you some
I saw your buddies at the barber shop
Man, they sure fight a lot
Just like they've always done
You look at me like you don't know who I am
But that's alright 'cause I know who you are
You're the stubborn one
My great-granddaddy's son
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
Time has stripped you of
So many things you love
But you keep fighting on
'Cause you're the stubborn one
Remember when we saw Hank Aaron play?
I was in second grade, you snuck me out of school
And you wore overalls to Sunday church
You said the good Lord's work
Ain't done in a monkey suit
You bought your tired down at Eddie Shaw's garage
You said that K-Mart didn't need your dollar
You're the stubborn one
My great-granddaddy's son
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
Time has stripped you of
So many things you love
But you keep fighting on
'Cause you're the stubborn one
The nurses wonder why I keep comin' by
They tell me you can't hear me
I guess I'm more like you than anybody knew
I can't let go of what I hold so dearly
The stubborn one...
You're the stubborn one
My great-granddaddy's son
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
Time has stripped you of
So many things you love
But you keep fighting on
'Cause you're the stubborn one
You're the stubborn one
Yeah, the stubborn one
You're the stubborn one
