Grandma was the only woman grandpa ever loved

At least that's what my Grandpa told my dad

And how I used to like to sit and watch him reminisce

On all the times that he and grandma had

Grandma was the motor and the mainspring of his life

Forty some odd years she was his wife

Now an old man and his memories keep a love affair alive

Grandma was the motor but she let my grandpa drive

Grandpa said that grandma had the kindest kind of soul

And her beauty didn't die when she got old

And he said she could have had herself a lot of other men

But that ain't how folks used to love back then

Grandma was the motor and the mainspring of his life...

Now grandpa he ain't got a lot of time left in this world

But he don't seem to mind it much at all

Cause he says he's kind of lonely here without his blue-eyed gir

And he can't wait till heaven comes to call

Grandma was the motor and the mainspring of his life...

Now an old man and his memories keep a love affair alive

Grandma was the motor but she let my Grandpa drive
