lyrics

She set a pie on the sill by the screen

Then eyed your boots like she’d seen a thief

Her blue mason jar caught the sunlight clean

She said, "Boy, I know what I believe"

Grandma crossed her arms by the stove

At six-fifteen, she cut her eyes

You brought a tie and a clean-cut smile

She still knew how to read your lies

Not her kind, not her kind

Not her kind, not her kind

She keeps that black rocker by the lamp

Not her kind, not her kind

Your truck sat hot in the gravel drive

Plate half-bent, door dented red

She took one look at your easy grin

And set fresh beans out, then said what she said

Grandma crossed her arms by the stove

At six-fifteen, she cut her eyes

You brought a tie and a clean-cut smile

She still knew how to read your lies

Not her kind, not her kind

Not her kind, not her kind

She keeps that black rocker by the lamp

Not her kind, not her kind

At church on Sunday, third-row seat

She folded her hands, stared straight ahead

You held that paper cup of weak black coffee

She hummed low, then shook her head

Not her kind, not her kind

Not her kind, not her kind

She keeps that black rocker by the lamp

Not her kind, not her kind
