I was sittin with him on his front porch swing Soaking up wisdom and Grandma's sweet tea Listening to his stories, man, he'd done it all His tour in the Army and his wilder days Raising my daddy and bailing his hay He cut off a twist of tobacco, stuck it in his jaw Cocked back his hat with a sideways grin and Gave me that ole wink He said, I can tell you something 'bout Most anything
But don't ask me about a woman All I know is boy they're something They're tender and they're tough Can break it down and lift you up Don't ask me about a woman That's some complicated stuff They ain't made to figure out They're just made to love
He said, boy I've lived nearly eighty years There's a lot of know how between these ears But when it comes to your grandma I'm still your age It took me a long, long time to learn Loving a woman is full of left turns The more they change, the more they stay The same Son, it's been that way since the Beginning of time We're behind the wheel but just along for The ride
But don't ask me about a woman All I know is boy they're something They're tender and they're tough Can break it down and lift you up Don't ask me about a woman That's some complicated stuff They ain't made to figure out They're just made to love
Fast forward ten years it's Saturday night She's changed three times, says her hair Ain't right My mind reels back to the time and place When I heard my grandpa say
Don't ask me about a woman Boy, that's some complicated stuff They ain't made to figure out They're just made to love Now I know what he's talkin about They're just made to love
