I was sittin' with him on his front porch swing
Soakin' up wisdom and grandma's sweet tea
Listenin' to his stories, man, he'd done it all
He's durin' the army in his wilder days
Raisin' my daddy and bailin' his hay
He cut off a twist of tobacco, stuck it in his jaw
Caught back his hat with a sideways grin
And gave me that old wing
He said, I could tell you somethin'
About most anything
But don't ask me why
Don't ask me about a woman
All I know is, boy, there's somethin'
They're tender and they're tough
Can break it down and lift you up
Don't ask me about a woman
That's uncomplicated stuff
They ain't made to figure out
They're just made to love
Yeah, he said, I could tell you
He said, boy, I've lived nearly 80 years
There's a lot of know-how between these ears
But when it comes to your grandma
I'm still your age
It took me a long, long time to learn
Lovin' a woman is full of left turns
The more they change, the more they stay the same
Son, it's good to be a man



In that way since the beginning of time
They're behind the wheel
They're just alone for the ride
But don't ask me about a woman
All I know is, boy, there's somethin'
They're tender and they're tough
Can break it down and lift you up
Don't ask me about a woman





That's uncomplicated stuff
They ain't made to figure out
They're just made to love
Fast forward ten years, it's Saturday night
She's chased three times, says her hair ain't right
My mind reels back to the time and place
When I heard my grandpa say
Don't ask me about a woman
Boy, that's uncomplicated stuff
They ain't made to figure out
They're just made to love
Now I know what he's talkin' about
They're just made to love
Now I know what he's talkin' about
