TRACE ADKINS LYRICS - The Stubborn One

"The Stubborn One"



They say that smokin' ain't allowed in here

But I don't care

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
