My Life's Been A Country Song

Now I know how Merle Haggard felt

When he sang the words mama tried

And I've 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, I've measured George Strait, drank with George Jones

My life's been a country song

It's 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 life's been a country song

Now I know how Paycheck felt

When he told his boss to take his job and shove it

And I've had the girl that made me say

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it

And I'll always remember just where I was

When the world stopped turnin'

Through the good and the bad, the right and the wrong

My life's been a country song

It's 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 life's been a country song

It's been the words when I couldn't find 'em

A friend when I've been alone

It's been a toast to the things remembered

The strength for movin' on

It's 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 life's been a country song

Oh, my life's been a country song
