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.

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 them 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 were flattenin' the hills

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.
