This lyric is about my best friend ever, my grandfather. He was my mom's dad, and he was a self-made man. He had to leave school in the 9th grade to help support 11 brothers and sisters. He went to work at the electric company where he learned how to be an electrician. He eventually started working for someone as an electrician, and then started in his own business. He had a few trucks, and Men working for him. I used to go with him and be his helper, but me being me, I always wanted to know when lunch was, or if we could take a coffee break, things like that. But he taught me many lessons, and I realize them later in life. I know he was always proud of me no matter what but he just couldn't figure out how I would throw my life away for drugs and alcohol. I was sober when he died, and I know that he's looking down on me now, and always remains in my corner. I'll never forget him, I'll always love him.
