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