[Verse]
Daddy drove the wheels off a flatbed Ford
Flies found the 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 Chrisco 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
[Chorus]
Oh, you think I m talking crazy
In a different language you might not under- stand
Oh, that s alright
That s just the kind of life that made me who I am
[Verse]
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
[Solo]

[Verse]
Grand- daddy 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 flattening their heels
Hollywood was fake, wrestling was real
Wouldn t dream of spending that two dollar bill
From pushing a lawnmower ?eround
I go back there right now
[Chorus]
Oh, you think I m talking crazy
In a different language you might not under- stand
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
[Solo]

Oh, man, I

Lived it

[Chorus]
Oh, you think I m talking crazy
In a different language you might not under- stand
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
