about

Grandma was a huge country music. She would crank up the radio or put in a cassette tape of her favorite country stars. But the one she loved most of all was Merle Haggard. I'm sure she will be in the front row for Merle's fist concert in heaven...

lyrics

Saturday morning Grandma's headed to town
She'd say “Boy, would you like to ride along”
So I'd climb up into the truck and turn the radio way up loud
And the only warning for miles around
That me and Grandma was headed to town
Was a fast moving cloud of dust and some country sounds

We'd roll into town with the windows down
Blasting out a little George Jones
Everybody on the square knew that Grandma was there
If Johnny Cash was on the stereo
There was no doubt in the world, Grandma was a country girl
Grandma liked to play it loud and she really liked Merle

We'd all pile in the back of Grandpa's Ford
All my cousins and sister and some friends, oh lord
On those Saturday nights when Grandpa played the fiddle and I'd get to sing
Yeah, everybody knew when my family was all
Headed to the dance at the legion hall
With a truck bed full of kids and Grandma singing along

We'd roll into town with the windows down
Blasting out a little George Jones
Everybody on the square knew that Grandma was there
If Johnny Cash was on the stereo
There was no doubt in the world, Grandma was a country girl
Grandma liked to play it loud and she really liked Merle

Haggard and Jones and Waylon and Willie
Tanya Tucker, Loretta or Conway Twitty
George Strait, Winonna, Grandma really liked 'em all, all, all

She'd roll into town with the windows down
Blasting out a little George Jones
Everybody on the square knew that Grandma was there
If Johnny Cash was on the stereo
There was no doubt in the world, Grandma was a country girl
Grandma liked to play it loud and she really liked
Grandma liked to play it loud and she really liked
Grandma liked her country music loud and she really liked Merle

I always knew I was destined to be a traveler and a collector of stories. My songs are the music I hear in my head that seems to me to have been a part of the stories all along. For the traveler, there's always the familiar, restless pull...the long road that awaits and yet flows into the past.

The first single release from the upcoming Reuben Brock DAMAGE studio album is NAIL AND HAMMER. ... more
