The Stubborn One

They say that smokin' ain't allowed in here But I don't care, I'll try to sneak you some Saw your buddies at the barber shop And 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 fightin' 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 tires down at Eddie Shaw's garage You said 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 fightin' on 'cause you're the stubborn one The nurses wonder why I keep comin' back 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 fightin' on 'cause you're the stubborn one You're the stubborn one Yeah, the stubborn one You're the stubborn one
