Aqualoop
Over yonder across the hillside a couple miles the way
The crow fly's is a little piece of ground my grandad bought when I was 3
It was a rowdy little campground by the little sandy river and every time
I pass on by it I reminisce about my teens
I'd spend my summers by a fire catching catfish beneath the moonlight
And picking my guitar at a bluegrass jam all night
It was the summer of my senior year I got my first taste of freedom
And I took part in them ornery things I was told I shouldn't do
And I've had times that were good there and I've had times that were bad
But most the times I can recall was the most fun I've ever had
I didn't worry about tomorrow or the things that I had to do
I was young dumb and reckless ten foot tall and bullet proof
Soon as the school bell would ring Id fly down the hollow
And pick up my buddy's dad and old fellow named Frank
He'd get all the booze that I wanted never asked me for a dollar
Just some good conversation and a cold bottle of pop
I'd buy some smoke next door and call up all my rowdy friends
And we'd howl at the moon until the sun would come up
Had several women on the line who were always willing to give me the time
To hang around all night and keep me company
And I've had times that were good there and I've had times that were bad
But most the times I can recall was the most fun I've ever had
I didn't worry about tomorrow or the things that I had to do
I was young dumb and reckless ten foot tall and bullet proof
Oh the locals down there were a special breed of people
Most folks would call them drunkards but I called them my friends
They showed me how to have a good time like water on a ducks back
Let the good times roll because tomorrow might not come
They were twice my age but they hung right there beside of me
And would go just as hard as my young body could go
They were full of life a bunch of hillbilly poets
Teaching me the ways of their happy redneck Zen
And I've had times that were good there and I've had times that were bad
But most the times I can recall was the most fun I've ever had
I didn't worry about tomorrow or the things that I had to do
I was young dumb and reckless ten foot tall and bullet proof
But now the times they have changed since I left that soggy bottom
For a pretty little lady and to start a brand new life
I walked away from the good times for a job
And to walk the line because everybody knows that them lifestyles don't mix
Now most of my old buddies have too soon passed on
While some of the others are serving time in the pen
And the loop just aint the same
It's a whole lot milder than it used to be back in my hellion days
And I've had times that were good there and I've had times that were bad
But most the times I can recall was the most fun I've ever had
I didn't worry about tomorrow or the things that I had to do
I was young dumb and reckless ten foot tall and bullet proof
I was young dumb and reckless ten foot tall and bullet proof
The crow fly's is a little piece of ground my grandad bought when I was 3
It was a rowdy little campground by the little sandy river and every time
I pass on by it I reminisce about my teens

I was young dumb and reckless ten foot tall and bullet proof
