Songs Of My Life
I thank the good Lord for the Good Directions in my life
The interstates traveled, crossing state lines into Sweet Home Alabama and Rocky Top
A one-man Convoy, almost Blown Away
The wind calls Take Me Home, Country Roads
Atop a Wagon Wheel, I ride
Copperhead Road and White House Road
Passing an ole’ Hicktown
That rushing air makes me feel like a Brand New Man
Just like that riverbank on the Chattahoochee
Where I went Fishing In The Dark
There was the Redneck Yacht Club
On that Pontoon, as we bounce Up Down
I think to myself, I Should’ve Been A Cowboy
Riding into Amarillo By Morning
Or an International harvester
I recall my loved ones and our famed Family Tradition
Standing beneath that rock face, I Wish Grandpas Never Died
I wish we could have Five More Minutes
His stories had to have been Something to Talk About
When The Sun Goes Down, Let’s Build A Fire
Let’s talk about how When It Rains, It Pours
How it pours Loud And Heavy and Where The Green Grass Grows
Our favorite things such as a big ole’ Firecracker and Gunpowder & Lead
About how we are all Rednecker than each other and about how we are true Holler Boys
The Gambler, Where I Come From, and the revenge shot Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue
My truck that is John Deere Green and that old beach Roller Coaster
These squatted trucks and how That Don’t Impress Me Much
How you gotta get a little Mud On The Tires and that tasty Chicken Fried
About how Mama Tried and that It’s A Great Day To Be Alive
How none of us are Fancy and all dread our 9 To 5
But I realize, I’m In A Hurry (And I Don’t Know Why)
After all, It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere and I’m not here for a long time
I’m Here For A Good Time
