My mama told me, when i was a boy
Life is what you make of it, you gotta seek out the simple joy
Well now i've seen it all, you know i've been there and back
It ain't been no easy road, but i'm on the right track
Well lord, i'm getting real near of chasing those blues away
Oh lord, i feel real fine i wanna get on the stage and play
Well well oh my my what have we here
Some good old fashioned music, lots of whiskey and beer
Oh lord i can't complain, you know sometimes i still do
I guess i'm gettin' pretty good at barely gettin' by
And i wanna give something to you
I've got what i've made, how could i ask for more
I'm driving my chevy, i got the peddle jammed to the floor
Well i'm here to see my babe, i got a six-pack on ice
And when i get there, she's gonna do me real nice
Well lord, i'm getting real near of chasing those blues away
Oh lord, i feel real fine i wanna get on the stage and play
Well well oh my my what have we here
Some good old fashioned music, lots of whiskey and beer
Oh lord i can't complain, you know sometimes i still do
I guess i'm gettin' pretty good at barely gettin' by
And i wanna give something to you
Well well oh my my what have we here
Some good old fashioned music, lots of whiskey and beer
Oh lord i can't complain, you know sometimes i still do
I guess i'm gettin' pretty good at barely gettin' by
And i wanna give something to you
