I Lived It

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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
