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
yellowjackets torn me up
And I ain't makin' this up
Oh you think I'm talkin' 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 takin' 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 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
They're flattenin' their heels
Hollywood was fake
Wrestlin' was real
Wouldn't dream of spendin'
that two dollar bill from
pushin' a lawnmower around
I'd go back there right now
Oh you think I'm talkin' 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 takin' 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 talkin' 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 takin' 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
