He ruined beards for me." Verse 1 Grandpa woke up at sunrise, got out of bed Welded and lathed, all day he worked in his shed Entered the grain bin without one hint of fear Grandpa come inside with sawdust caught in his beard Chorus I wondered at him as only children can Is dust in his beard what it means to be a man? Verse 2 Daddy went out at night when new lambs were born Daddy would sweat all summer, growing his corn When neighbors needed help, he’d be the first volunteer Daddy’d come inside with snow and ice in his beard Chorus I wondered at him as only children can Is ice in his beard what it means to be a man? Verse 3 Aiden skipped work because he might have a cold Won’t go in the barn, claims he’s allergic to mold Where’s chores to be done, you know that he’ll disappear Aiden come to the party with glitter in his beard Bridge He ruined beards for me That Aiden ruined beards for me Chorus I wondered at him as only women can Is glitter in his beard what it means to be a man? Hear it again... but different! This is the first time I ever played it live -- three days after I wrote it! -- with the incredible bassist, Tyler Vincent.
