[Verse 1]
Well, my grandson came from the city, just last June,
With his fancy phone glowin’ brighter than the moon.
I’m a farmer, born in ’55, plowin’ fields to stay alive,
But this Gen Z kid’s got me scratchin’ my head, wonderin’ why!
He’s got blue hair, calls it “vibes,” wears jeans with holes galore,
Says he’s “livin’ his truth,” but what’s he searchin’ for?
I said, “Boy, grab a pitchfork, let’s pile some hay today!”
He just stared at his screen and said, “Gramps, I’m slay.”
[Chorus]
Oh, city boy summer, he’s flippin’ my world upside down,
Talkin’ ‘bout TikToks while I’m tryin’ to plow.
He’s meme-in’ and streamin’, I don’t understand,
But I love that crazy kid, my Gen Z grandson!
[Verse 2]
I caught him in the barn, dancin’ like nobody’s there,
Makin’ videos for strangers, flailin’ arms in the air.
He said, “Gramps, I’m viral, got a million views!”
I said, “Son, the only virus here’s in the chickens we lose!”
[Verse 3]
He don’t know a tractor from a Tesla, that’s the truth,
Tried to charge my John Deere with a cord from his youth.
He’s got slang I can’t follow, like “yeet” and “bet,”
I’m still tryin’ to figure what “low-key” means yet!
[Chorus]
Oh, city boy summer, he’s flippin’ my world upside down,
Talkin’ ‘bout TikToks while I’m tryin’ to plow.
He’s meme-in’ and streamin’, I don’t understand,
But I love that crazy kid, my Gen Z grandson!
[Bridge]
He taught me ‘bout emojis, I sent a cow and a heart,
But I hit the eggplant by mistake, tore my world apart.
He laughed and said, “Gramps, you’re canceled, that’s a sin!”
I said, “Boy, the only thing canceled here’s your data plan!”
[Verse 3]
By the end of the summer, we found some common ground,
He helped me fix the fence while his music shook the town.
I showed him how to milk a cow, he posted it online,
Now my old Holstein’s famous, she’s a star on Vine!
[Chorus]
Oh, city boy summer, he’s flippin’ my world upside down,
Talkin’ ‘bout TikToks while I’m tryin’ to plow.
He’s meme-in’ and streamin’, I don’t understand,
But I love that crazy kid, my Gen Z grandson!
[Outro]
So here’s to my grandson, with his wild, weird ways,
He’s back in the city, but I miss those crazy days.
Next summer he’s back, I’ll be ready, you see,
For my blue-haired, TikTok-dancin’ Gen Z family!
