They say that smokin' ain't allowed in here
But I don't care, I'll try to sneak you some
Saw your buddies at the barber shop
And they sure fight a lot, just like they've always doneYou look at me like you don't know who I am
But that's alright 'cause I know who you areYou're the stubborn one
My great-granddaddy's son
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cupTime has stripped you of
So many things you love
But you keep fightin' on 'cause you're the stubborn oneRemember when we saw Hank Aaron play
I was in second grade
You snuck me out of schoolAnd you wore overalls to Sunday church
You said the Good Lord's work
Ain't done in a monkey suitYou bought your tires down at
Eddie Shaw's garage
You said K-Mart didn't need your dollarYou're the stubborn one
My great-granddaddy's son
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cupTime has stripped you of
So many things you love
But you keep fightin' on 'cause you're the stubborn oneThe nurses wonder why
I keep comin' back
They tell me you can't hear meI guess I'm more like you
Than anybody knew
I can't let go of what I hold so dearly
The stubborn oneYou're the stubborn one
My great-granddaddy's son
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cupTime has stripped you of
So many things you love
But you keep fightin' on 'cause you're the stubborn oneYou're the stubborn one
Yeah, the stubborn one
You're the stubborn one
