My Life's Been a Country Song Lyrics

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 lightAnd 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 songIt'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 backacheRaisin' Caine, Friday nights
Sunday church to set it right
They can write it on my stone
My life's been a country songNow 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 itAnd 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 songIt'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 backacheRaisin' Caine, Friday nights
Sunday church to set it right
They can write it on my stone
My life's been a country songIt'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' onIt'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 backacheRaisin' 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Chris Cagle, born November 10, 1968, is a country music singer and songwriter who was born in DeRidder, Louisiana and raised in Baytown, Texas. After graduating from Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown, Texas, he attended The University of Texas at Arlington for a short time, but dropped out to pursue a musical career. During his college years he was a brother of the Missouri Theta chapter of Phi Delta Theta. He moved to Nashville in 1994 and worked a number of odd jobs to support himself while trying to land a recording contract.

After years of toiling, he was signed with Virgin Records in 2000. Cagle made his debut on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts with the single My Love Goes On And On, the first single from his debut album Play It Loud. The album, which was certified gold in the United States, also produced the Top 10 hit Laredo and I Breathe In, I Breathe Out, his first and only Number One hit.

Play It Loud was followed in 2002 by Chris Cagle, released on Capitol Records. Also a gold album in the U.S., it produced the Top 5 hits What A Beautiful Day and Chicks Dig It. Anywhere But Here, his third compilation, followed in 2005 and produced the #12-peaking Miss Me Baby. A fourth studio album, titled My Life's Been A Country Song, was released in 2008, and its lead-off single, What Kinda Gone, peaked at #3 on the country music charts in early 2008.
