I was listening to a country station and I heard this song that I really liked. I have no idea who sings it or what the name is I can barely even remember the lyrics, except for one part that goes like this, 'she's five feet of concrete.' I know that it was a male singer if that helps at all. I'd appreciate the help but then again will understand if no one knows since I don't have much information about it! Thanks a bunch..

The song is "Help Somebody" by Van Zant, off their album Get RIght With The Man.

Here's the lyrics:

Well grandaddy was a hillbilly scholar,
blue collar of a man...
He came from the school of
'you don't need nothin' if you can't make it with your own two hands'
He was backwoods, backwards, used words like:
no sir, yes ma'am, by god, I'll be darned, hell yeah I'm American..
and all the years he walked this earth
I swear all he did was work.
He said the devil dreams on an idle horse
so you listen to me squirt..

Don't get too high on a bottle,
and get right with a man.
Fight your fights, find your grace
and all the things you two can't change, and help somebody if you can

Now Granny said sonny
stick to your gun if you believe in something
no matter what
cause it's better to be hated for who you are
Than loved for someone you're not.
She was 5 feet of concrete
New York born and raised on a slick city street.
She'll stare you down, stand her ground,
still kickin' and screamin' at 93
I remember how frail she looked
in that hospital bed
taking her last few breaths of life
and smiling as she said

Don't get too high on a bottle,
just a little syrup now and then,
fight your fights,
find your grace,
and all the things you two can't change
and help somebody if you can,
and get right with a man

I never let a cowboy make the coffee
yeah thats what Granny always said to my Grandad
and he'd say never tell a joke
that ain't that funny more than once
and if you wanna hear God laugh,
tell Him your plans

Don't get too high on a bottle,
get right with a man, son.
fight your fights,
find your grace,
and all the things you two can't change
and help somebody if you can
and get right with a man

and get right with a man
