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 Crisco can
Put a hundred thousand miles on a Sears box fan
Uncle Joe put tobacco on my hand where the 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
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 Crisco can
Put a hundred thousand miles on a Sears box fan
Uncle Joe put tobacco on my hand where the 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

Drove me around in the back of that truck

You wouldn't know how to love it like I love it unless you lived it

Oh man, I lived it
Oh, you think I'm talking crazy

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
