We Rode In Trucks

[Verse 1]

Down where I was born was heaven on earth

The Flint River washes that red Georgia dirt

The sun sets slow and the stars shine bright

We raised cotton, corn, a little cane, and kids

You either lived on a farm or wish you did

Jesus always walked close by our side

Where I grew up, we rode in trucks

[Verse 2]

There's a lot about life you can learn on a bus

How to lie, how to fight, how to kiss, how to cuss

The closer we sat to the back, the smarter we got

We were poor, we were ugly, we were all best friends

Wide-eyed, baptized, and still wanting to sin

Thank God we get more than just one shot

Where I grew up, we rode in trucks

[Chorus]

That's us, hauling hay in the field with the radio on

That's us, heading straight into town when the work was done

In my mind, I can still see us now, riding down Buck Island Road

It wasn't that long ago

[Verse 3]

We thought tobacco and beer in a can

Was all it would take to be like our old man

But I saw how it made my momma cry

It was hunting and fishing and football games

Then it was girls, and everything changed, in our lives

Falling in and out of love, we rode in trucks

[Chorus]

That's us with our tailgates down in the parking lot

That's us with mud on our tires when it rained a lot

In my mind, I can still see us now, riding down Buck Island Road

It wasn't that long ago, it's a part of my soul. Yeah

[Verse 4]

Down where I was born, was heaven on earth

The Flint River washes that red Georgia dirt

The sun sets slow and the stars shine bright

Where I grew up, we rode in trucks
