I Lived It

Daddy drove the wheels off a flatbed Ford

Flies found the hole in the old screen door

Granny said the dress that my sister wore

To church wasn't long enough

Momma poured grease in a Chrisco can

Put a hundred thousand miles on a Sears box fan

Uncle Joe put tobacco on my hand

Where them yellow jacket's torn me up

And I ain't making this up

Oh, you think I'm talking crazy

In a different language you might not understand

Oh, that's alright

That's just the kind of life that made me who I am

Just taking my mind on a visit

Back in time 'cause I miss it

You wouldn't know how to love it like I love it

Unless you lived it

And man, I lived it

Granddaddy smoked Salems with the windows up

Drove me around in the back of that truck

We drank from the hose and spit in the cup

We all survived somehow

Them old Duke boys, they're flattening their heels

Hollywood was fake, wrestling was real

Wouldn't dream of spending that two dollar bill

From pushing a lawnmower ‘round

I go back there right now

Oh, you think I'm talking crazy

In a different language you might not understand

Oh, that's alright

That's just the kind of life that made me who I am

Just taking my mind on a visit

Back in time 'cause I miss it

You wouldn't know how to love it like I love it

Unless you lived it

And man, I lived it

Oh man, I lived it

Oh, you think I'm talking crazy

In a different language you might not understand

Oh, that's alright

That's just the kind of life that made me who I am

Just taking my mind on a visit

Back in time 'cause I miss it

You wouldn't know how to love it like I love it

Unless you lived it

And man, I lived it

Oh man, I lived it
