Thinkin’ of Yesterday

I had woke up early, before the morning light
'Bout that time the phone rang, I knew somethin' wasn't right
Grandma on the other end said you had passed away
I fell to my knees and cried and thought of yesterday

I reminisced on memories of time I spent with you
Tried to tell myself that there's nothing I could do
It seemed that my whole world was gone and turned to dark and grey
As the tears were fallin' I kept thinkin' of yesterday

I can still remember melons on the vine
Rugged brown recliner, that's where you would unwind
Horses, cows and tractors, I wish you could have stayed
Now everytime I think of you I'm thinkin' of yesterday

This song's about my grandpa, his name JT DeBord
He was a cattle rancher, and he drove an old ford
The first horse that I ever rode was the last horse that he broke
It makes me sad so excuse me friend if my words begin to choke

And I can still remember melons on the vine
Rugged brown recliner, that's where you would unwind
Horses, cows and tractors, I wish you could have stayed
Now everytime I think of you I'm thinkin' of yesterday

And right now I'm thinkin' of yesterday
