Content
"Grandpa Told Me So" is an honest country song that captures the spirit of the narrator's grandfather's wisdom, and those cherished childhood memories he had with him, teaching him about everything from nature, to persuading his father into giving him his first car. His grandfather also comforted the narrator after slow recovery following an ended relationship by his date.
Until that one day on his grandfather's deathbed, the narrator only failed to keep that one promise to him to not cry when he died. In his grandfather's last words he smiled to him and said "we'll meet again somewhere down the road."
This entire song is about learning life lessons from the past, giving the best love you have to others, and accepting a loss you can't hold onto, and moving on. And the song shares those life lessons and the value of love giving to another generation passed down.
