This title is a cover of Help Somebody as made famous by Van Zant

Well granddaddy was a hillbilly scholar blue collar of a man
He came from the school where you didn't need nothin'
If you couldn't make it with your own two hands
He was back woods backwards used words
Like no sir yes ma'am by God be darned hell yeah I'm American
In all the years he walked this earth
I swear all he did was work
He said the devil dreams on an idle horse so you listen to me squirt
Don't get too high on a bottle and get right with a man
Fight your fights find a grace in all the things
That you can't change and help somebody if you can
Now Granny said Sonny stick to your guns
If you believe in somethin' no matter what
'Cos it's better to be hated for who you are
Than be loved for who you're not
She was five feet of concrete
New York born and raised on the slick city streets
She'd cold stare you down stand her ground
Still kickin' and screamin' at ninety three
I remember just how frail she looked in that hospital bed
Takin' her last few breaths of life and smilin' as she said
Don't get too high on a bottle just a little sip every now and then
Fight your fights find a grace in all the things
That you can't change and help somebody if you can
And get right with a man whoop, whoop, come on now
I never let a cowboy make the coffee
Yeah that's what Granny always said to my granddad
And he'd say never tell a joke that ain't that funny more than once
And if you wanna hear God laugh tell him your plans
Don't get too high on a bottle and get right with a man son
Fight your fights find a grace in all the things
That you can't change and help somebody if you can
And get right with a man wooh, yeah
Don't get too high
Help somebody if you can and get right with a man
