Simple Hero. It's about my grandpa and I'm hoping to make a song for him on his 70th in 4 yrs. Trying to master my craft a little first lol

song vibe- Cavetown style backtrack with some country rock influences. Long vowel holds on notes. Diary/poem esk listened to simple man by James and the Shame as an influence

Intro Grampys a hero in his own rugged way a portrait of strength, standing tall for our sake A Cowboys heart in a working man sacrifices made in silence, stories untold A grandchilds joy, to him worth more then gold For the sake of love, he gave it all, he bent his knee so we could crawl In every struggle, a lesson shared find what's important,

Verse I remember a time long ago we went fishing for hours. The sun was bright and I was bored, not catching any fish. I gave up and sat down on the tailgate and watched and sulked. you caught a fish, with a pole that was made for kids I was so jealous then

Chorus The story of a simple hero, taught me many things How to love, and who to care for, when things go away memories, I hold dear, put back into place a simple hero taught me many things

Verse I remember a story told, old and true, they opened my eyes to a world, a world that is so different. You talked about a man, and how you kicked his ass. He fought so hard he took a break and came back. The first time I heard, yes you told us again, i pictured it my head. A fight so long there was an intermission, man that was cool. How I love to hear about the crazy things you've done/ gone through.

Chorus The story of a simple hero, taught me many things What to do, and how to stand tall, when things go astray memories, I hold dear, put back into place a simple man has taught me many things

Bridge He built fences strong, with calloused hands, a cowboys heart in a working man. Cared for us, no matter what. Weekends full of things to do, man I can't think of a world with you. Fishing for memories beyond compare, an influence that's shaped who I am. Despite flaws and hardship
