My Life's Been a Country Song

Now I know how Merle Haggard felt
When he sang the words mama tried
And Ive lived those teenage Friday nights
The pyramid of cans in the pale moon light
And that summer Becky broke my heart
Alabama sang old flame burnin
Well, Ive measured George Strait, drank with George Jones
My lifes been a country song
Its all about fallin down and gettin back up
Your good times and hard luck
True love and amazing grace
Workin all week for a backache
Raisin Caine, Friday nights
Sunday church to set it right
They can write it on my stone
My lifes been a country song
Now I know how Paycheck felt
When he told his boss to take his job and shove it
And Ive had the girl that made me say
I like it, I love it , I want some more of it
And Ill always remember just where I was
When the world stopped turnin
Through the good and the bad, the right and the wrong
My lifes been a country song
Its all about fallin down and gettin back up
Your good times and hard luck
True love and amazing grace
Workin all week for a backache
Raisin Caine, Friday nights
Sunday church to set it right
They can write it on my stone
My lifes been a country song
Its been the words when I couldnt find em
A friend when Ive been alone
Its been a toast to the things remembered
The strength for movin on
Its all about fallin down and gettin back up
Yourgood times and hard luck
True love and amazing grace
Workin all week for a backache
Raisin Caine, Friday nights
Sunday church to set it right
They can write it on my stone
My lifes been a country song
Oh, my lifes been a country song
