They say that smokin' ain't allowed in here
But I don't care, I'll try to sneak you some
I saw your buddies at the barber's shop
Man, 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 girl, my girl

My great-granddaddy's son
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
Time has tripped you up
So many things you love
But you keep fighting 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 Kmart didn't need your dollar
You said Kmart didn't need your dollar



Good morning, I'm the stubborn one
My great-granddaddy's son
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
Time has tripped you up
So many things you love
But you keep fighting on
Cause you're the stubborn one
You're the stubborn one
My great-granddaddy's son





I just wonder why I keep coming by
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
This stubborn one
You're the stubborn one
My great-granddaddy's son
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
Time has tripped you up
So many things you love
But you keep fighting on
Cause you're the stubborn one
You're the stubborn one
You're the stubborn one
Yeah, the stubborn one
You're the stubborn one
You're the stubborn one
