You're shaking like a live oak leaf, missing your first deer Seven years old, fighting back the tears Next thing you know, it's your senior year Saying you can't wait till you're out of here Wintergreen Skoal in a console cup Cut a bunch of yards so you can jack it up Spinning them wheels in your Chevrolet Digging down deep in the Georgia clay My girl in a 12-foot boat, blue eyes and a red sunset Heading down some way backroad, back tires still soaking wet Wind blowing that cloud of dust, plow disc all worn and rusty Running wide-open on empty, yeah, that was life Back when life was a new country song, it was duck dogs and football We didn't have much, but we had it all Trying to steal a kiss and put a fish on the wall Now I'm watching my boys backlash a line The muscadine don't fall far from the vine Spinner bait hung in a cypress tree Man, I swear they're just like me When it was My girl in a 12-foot boat, blue eyes and a red sunset Heading down some way backroad, back tires still soaking wet Wind blowing that cloud of dust, plow disc all worn and rusty Running wide-open on empty, yeah, that was life Back when life was a new country song, it was duck dogs and football We didn't have much, but we had it all Trying to steal a kiss and put a fish on the wall Man, it's something to see them holding up their first ten-pounder And if they're lucky as me, they'll catch and thank the Lord you found her My girl in a 12-foot boat, blue eyes and a red sunset Heading down some way backroad, back tires still soaking wet Wind blowing that cloud of dust, plow disc all worn and rusty Running wide-open on empty, yeah, that was life Back when life was a new country song, it was duck dogs and football We didn't have much, but we had it all Trying to steal a kiss and put a fish on the wall We didn't have much, but we had it all Trying to steal a kiss and put a fish on the wall
