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 tore 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 Salem's with the windows up, drove me around in the back of that truck,
we drank from the hose that's bent in the cup, we all survived somehow.
Them old Duke boys, they're flattening their heels, Hollywood was fake, wrestling was real,
wouldn't dream of spending that two dollar bill from pushing a lawnmower 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.
Oh man I lived it.
