Sliver (Solo Acoustic Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mom and Dad went to a show
They dropped me off at grandpa Joe's
I said "Oh god, oh please, don't go!"

[Chorus]
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home

[Verse 2]
Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatoes and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good

[Chorus]
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
[Verse 3]
She said, "Why don't you quit your crying?
Go outside and ride your bike"
That's what I did, I killed my toe

[Chorus]
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Wanna be alone

[Verse 4]
My grandpa had a cigarette
It touched my arm on accident
I swear to god, it hurt real bad!

[Chorus]
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
