Granger Smith - 16 Stitches lyrics

[Verse 1: Granger Smith] I came home with a skinned-up knee There were tears on my cheeks and a beat up bike Momma held me and said what's this With a Band Aid and a kiss it'll be alright [Verse 2] And later on when Daddy got home I wanted to show him my battle wound And I told the truth I said [Chorus] Dad, I got sixteen stitches And it sure itches and burns a lot The backyard was attacked by Injuns And thank goodness I fought 'em off Just be glad that you had a strong man like me To do what I did I got sixteen stitches But one life to live [Verse 3] Playing catch, me and Dad one December And I still remember like it was yesterday I went long and Dad threw a pa** And he slipped in the gra** by the driveway [Verse 4] Lying there with ice on his bruise I looked up at him and said Dad what'd you do And he told the truth He said [Chorus] Son, I got sixteen stitches And it sure itches and burns a lot The Super Bowl it was ? And thank goodness you caught the ball Just be glad that you had a strong man like me To do what I did I got sixteen stitches But one life to live [Verse 5] Before you know it all the years gone by And I'm looking like a man, feeling like a child And kneeling here by my daddy's bedside wiping off my eyes I say [Chorus] Dad, I got sixteen stitches And it sure itches and burns a lot Our hearts' breaking all to pieces I wish you were here to make it stop I'm just glad that I had a strong man like you To do what you did We got sixteen stitches But only one life to live
