I lived it    (video)

 

    G - Em - C

 

       G

1. Daddy drove the wheels off a flatbed Ford,

    Em

    flies found a hole in the old screen door.

        C

    Granny said the dress that my sister wore

 

    to church wasn't long enough.

       G

    Mama poured grease in a Crisco can,

              Em

    put a hundred thousand miles on a Sears box fan.

      C

    Uncle Joe put tobacco on my hand,

 

    where them yellow jackets torn me up.

          Em                          D

    And I ain't making this up.

 

 G                                             - Em

Oh, you think I'm talking crazy,         in a different language,

          C                      D

you might not understand.

 G                         - Em    

Oh, that's alright,          that's just the kind of life,

           C                     D

that made me who I am.

                                          C                                        G

Just taking my mind on a visit, back in time 'cause I miss it,

                                  Am

you wouldn't know to love it, like I love it,

                   C                             G

unless you lived it, and, man, I lived it.

2. Granddaddy smoked Salems with the windows up,

      Em

    drove me around in the back of that truck,

             C

    we drank from the hose and spit in the cup,

 

    we all survived somehow.

                     G

    Them ol' Duke boys were flattening the hills,

     Em

    Hollywood was fake, wrestling was real,

                      C

    wouldn't dream of spending that two dollar bill

 

    from pushing a lawn mower around.

         Em                            D

    I'd go back there right now.

 

 G                                             - Em

Oh, you think I'm talking crazy,         in a different language,

          C                      D

you might not understand.

 G                         - Em    

Oh, that's alright,          that's just the kind of life,

           C                     D

that made me who I am.

Just taking my mind on a visit, back in time 'cause I miss it,

                                  Am

you wouldn't know to love it, like I love it,
