HARD NOT TO LIKE

He's an old man who no doubt, has seen better years 
A broken down man who's cried way too many tears 
He worked long days on a back road farm
To keep his children healthy, safe and warm   
He's a hard man who has a certain charm 

          And now, he sits in a swing most every day 
          Smoking and swinging the day away 
          Sometimes he tells tall tales late into the night 
          Now and then, a dusty radio plays 
          But he don't care for what it has to say
          He's a hard man and hard not to like 

She's an old woman who no doubt, has seen better years
A broken down woman whose cried way too many tears 
She worked long days on a back road farm
To keep her children healthy, safe and warm   
She's a hard lady who has a certain charm 

          And now, she sits in a chair most every day 
          Knitting and rocking the day away 
          Sometimes she tells tall tales late into the night 
          Now and then, a dusty radio plays 
          But she don't care for what it has to say
          She's a hard lady and hard not to like 

          Yeah, they sit on the porch most every day 
          Swinging and rocking the day away 
          Sometimes they tell tall tales late into the night 
          Grandpa and Grandma rarely have much to say 
          But always have a way to make you feel okay 
          They're hard folks and hard not to like 
          Yeah, they're hard folks and hard not to like
