Different Now

We were NASCAR winners, barely reached them pedals
Racing down them back road kids
Big dreams and wild eyes, chasing down a good time
And never wanted summer break to end

Reach out and turn on that radio
A country song playing was our only hope
Ain't it funny how looking back now
We still crank that music up loud?

They just hit a little different, same old songs
Lyrics had us dreaming 'bout the day we'd long
To get away from that nowhere town
Now they got us still wishing we were hanging round
That red dirt road, John Deere green
"Check yes or no" had a different meaning
Way back then but today when I hear them sounds
They just hit a little different now

I could turn it in and turn up that radio
That daddy had, I'd listen on that living room floor
It don't matter what song plays, good times or heartbreak
I still get carried away

They just hit a little different, same old songs
Lyrics had us dreaming 'bout the day we'd long
To get away from that nowhere town
Now they got us still wishing we were hanging round
That red dirt road, John Deere green
"Check yes or no" had a different meaning
Way back then but today when I hear them sounds
They just hit a little different now

Not too much has changed, just some years and some last names
A few of us found fortune and fame
But every time those melodies turn on a memory
It takes me to another place

They just hit a little different, same old songs
Lyrics had us dreaming 'bout the day we'd long
To get away from that nowhere town
Now they got us still wishing we were hanging round
Where the green grass grows, strawberry wine
I'm still out here living on Tulsa time
Like way back then but today when I hear them sounds
They just hit a little different now
They just hit a little different now
