V1 I walked down the stairway leavin' life in Abilene... And at the bottom of the steps sat a woman crying. She pointed to my guitar case and spelled Graceland, said I see you're in a hurry but will you lend me a hand? V2 I sat down beside her touched my fingers to her curls. Felt something I'd never felt before as I was touching her. I burned for the big time wishin' I was somewhere else.. But the course of my life changed as I was sitting there. Chorus And if I live to be a thousand I'll always see my grandma's chair, Grandpa sitting beside her combing her silver hair. And how he kept her lovin' him through all the years they shared, I'll keep on lovin' you comb the tangles from your hair. Break/Repeat Chorus Yes, I'll keep on lovin' you and comb the tangles from your hair.
