I Lived It

Daddy drove the wheels off a flatbed Ford Flies found a hole in the old screen door Granny said the dress that my sister wore To church wasn't long enough Mama poured grease in a Crisco can Put a hundred thousand miles on a Sears box fan Uncle Joe put tobacco on my hand Where them yellow jackets 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 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 ol' Duke boys were flattening the hills Hollywood was fake, wrestling was real Wouldn't dream of spending that two dollar bill From pushing a lawn mower around I'd 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 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 to love it like I love it Unless you lived it and man, I lived it Oh man, I lived it
