Faith Michele Current - Granny's Cooler Than Me (album version)

I see her there with her thin grey hair
And her bones so brittle and frail
I see her hands are trembling
As she pours herself a glass of ginger ale
She doesn't leave the house much anymore
A friend comes once a week and drives her to the store
And I see the way she's winding down
In a world where she's too easy to ignore
But my granny was there when Dylan went electric
Granny's first car was a GTO
Granny got the Pill and then she burned her bra
Stopped a war and fought to ban the bomb
Wearing go-go boots and marching for peace
My granny has always been cooler than me
Granny was born on the Texas prairie
Almost married then the draft blew in
Goodbye at the airport
And she watched her true love ship out on that plane
She didn't leave the house much at the start
Then the letter came that finally broke her heart
It was January 65
And the world was just about to blow apart
And my granny was there when Dylan went electric
Granny's first car was a GTO
Granny got the Pill and then she burned her bra
Stopped a war and fought to ban the bomb
Wearing go-go boots and marching for peace
My granny is cooler than me
Someday my granny's gonna pass away
And we'll do all the usual things
There'll be flowers and some music
Something tasteful with an organ and some strings
And the preacher's gonna say some fancy stuff
And I guess that it'll all be nice enough
But if I'm half the woman granny is
I'll stand up and I'll set the record straight
My granny was there when Dylan went electric
Granny's first car was a GTO
Granny got the Pill and then she burned her bra
Stopped a war and fought to ban the bomb
Wearing go-go boots and marching for peace
My granny was always cooler than me
My granny was there when Dylan went electric
Granny went to Woodstock and Granny inhaled
Janis and Jimi and Jumpin' Jack Flash
Strawberry Fields and Johnny Cash
If you check out her record collection, you'll see
My granny has always been cooler than me
I got dibs on her record collection, you see
Cuz' my granny will always be cooler than me
