Grandmother Song Lyrics - Inland Territory - Vienna Teng

Oh girl you think you got time 

You're gonna get 'round to it way down the line 

But one step, two step, you fall behind 

So you better have a good plan 

Oh girl you think you got time 

You're gonna get 'round to it way down the line 

But I'm telling you no matter what you have in mind 

You're still gonna need a man 

Take it from your grandmother I've been 'round 

No one's gonna take care of you 

In that world you've got yourself into 

All the good boys, oh baby they're in grad school

Oh girl your story's all wrong 

Your dream'll be a nightmare before too long 

Turning thirty and still trying to sing your songs 

Come on who do you think you are 

Oh girl it's too heavy a load 

Your mama and your baba they are worried souls 

How you gonna raise a family when you're on the road 

With some tattooed boy with a guitar 

Take it from your grandmother I've been 'round 

This music career isn't real life 

It won't see you through to when you're sixty-five 

When the tide turns you won't survive 

You'll sit on the banks and cry

Oh girl you've never known war 

When they come in the night and knock on the door 

You can go from the high life to dirty poor 

And lose everything you knew 

But the one thing they can't take away from you 

Is your mind and the education you've been through 

O you find a man who understands that too 

Make sure that he stays true 

Gives respect where its due 

Make sure he knows what he's got in you 

Because a woman isn't just for cooking meals 

Scrubbing floors, making babies 

A woman's got ambitions same as he does 

Maybe more 

When the sirens wailed and the bombs fell 

We ran from the schoolyard into hell 

And what we could've been time will never tell 

'cause we never had your chances 

The advantages that you've been handed 

Girl you'll never know how hard it was 

So you've got to do this for all of us 

Take it from your grandmother I've been 'round
