[00:11.71] | I was 12 years old with some bolts and a wrench, |
[00:14.90] | a piece of plywood that |
[00:16.15] | Was 3/4 inch and daddy said son once your chores are one |
[00:20.59] | I'll give you one |
[00:22.45] | Of them gris old barn poles. |
[00:24.95] | I went out in the pasture with no cow patties, |
[00:27.83] | Got some post hole diggers, |
[00:29.21] | and I got after it. Had some sun on my back and |
[00:32.65] | A blister on my hand, but man I had myself a goal! |
[00:35.82] | . |
[00:38.46] | I dribbles that ball till the grass was gone |
[00:40.91] | and the ground was brown and Flat. |
[00:43.04] | Me and Daddy played horse |
[00:45.42] | and the cows all "mooed" and we laughed. |
[00:49.07] | I Was lucky and I didn't even know it growing up like that. |
[00:52.86] | . |
[00:54.93] | I learned the birds and the bee's from the cats |
[00:57.24] | and the dogs, & a frog Starts out as a pollywog. |
[01:00.99] | The best blackberry cobbler is made from scratch, |
[01:03.56] | And worth every one you get from the briar patch. |
[01:07.49] | . |
[01:08.49] | I found out firewood will Warm you twice, |
[01:10.90] | once when you cut it and once when you light it. |
[01:14.16] | I can't Help but smile when I look back, |
[01:19.71] | cause I was lucky and I didn't even know |
[01:21.95] | It growin' up like that. |
[01:24.45] | . |
[01:28.88] | There was an old wooden barrel hind my grandpa's house |
[01:31.57] | where we threw our Tatter peels and coffee grounds, |
[01:34.44] | say you want to catch catfish long as your Arm, |
[01:37.26] | son you gotta have a night crawler farm. |
[01:39.75] | . |
[01:41.76] | Well we'd sit on the dock and |
[01:43.38] | Share a bottle of pop and catch a few |
[01:45.52] | and then head on back. |
[01:47.57] | Me and Daddy Clean fish while the cats "meowed" and we laughed, |
[01:52.67] | I was lucky and I didn't Even know it growing up like that |
[01:56.46] | . |
[01:58.46] | I learned the birds and the bee's from the cats and the dogs, |
[02:01.57] | a frog Starts out as a pollywog. |
[02:03.98] | The best blackberry cobbler is made from scratch, |
[02:07.21] | And worth every one you get from the briar patch. |
[02:11.09] | . |
[02:11.77] | If you ever got sugar in A hot hay loft |
[02:14.71] | and you still can't believe y'all didn't get caught. |
[02:17.65] | You Close your eyes and smile when you look back, |
[02:23.45] | you were lucky and you didn't Know it growing up like that. |
[02:27.45] | . |
[02:38.10] | Ya learned the birds and the bee's from the cats and the dogs, |
[02:41.10] | and skinny Dippin beats anything ya ever saw. |
[02:43.92] | The best blackberry cobbler is made from |
[02:46.71] | Scratch, and worth every one you get from the briar patch. |
[02:50.67] | . |
[02:51.23] | Sometimes me and Her still slip off to |
[02:54.17] | that cozy little corner in the old hay loft, |
[02:57.12] | taste That honeysuckle off her lips off the beaten path. |
[03:03.01] | Cause I'm lucky and baby I know. |
[03:05.48] | I'm doin my best there to show. |
[03:08.13] | Naw you never really do outgrow it Growin up like that. |
[03:12.60] | . |
[03:14.79] | |
[03:23.62] | You like good cold beer and pickin' guitar. |
[03:26.48] | you really don't care about Being a star, |
[03:29.34] | you just do it cause you love it and love it cause you do it. |
[03:35.88] | Shuck cobs on the porch, |
[03:38.01] | till some buddies show up with some |
[03:40.20] | (not sure These last words) |
