My Life Is Like a Country Song

country, storytelling, my life is like a country song, twangy guitars, heartfelt male vocals, banjo, fiddle, upbeat tempo
Lyrics
Intro
Yeah, sittin' on this tailgate... watchin' the sun go down...
Verse
Grew up on a dirt road, boots fulla red clay
Daddy's old Ford truck, that's where I learned to pray
First kiss in the hayloft, sweet as summer rain
But she left with a cowboy, leavin' nothin' but pain
Mama's fried chicken Sundays, now the table's too quiet
Lost my job at the mill, but I ain't gonna fight it
Bills stack like hay bales, truck broke down again
Pour another cold one, call up my old friends
Chorus
My life is like a country song
Fulla heartache, two-steppin' wrong
Cheatin' fate with a steel guitar strum
Yeah, my life is like a country song (like a country song)
Runnin' on whiskey and backroad hum
My life is like a country song
Verse
Fished all day for nothin', reelin' in memories
Shotgun on the porch swing, killin' time with the breeze
Ex called last Friday, said she missin' my laugh
I hung up the phone, cracked open a six-pack
Dogs bark at the moonlight, fireflies dancin' slow
Ain't got a pot to piss in, but damn, I love this show
From the highs of Friday nights to the lows of Monday morn
Keep on rollin' like that old Nashville horn
Chorus
My life is like a country song
Fulla heartache, two-steppin' wrong
Cheatin' fate with a steel guitar strum
Yeah, my life is like a country song (like a country song)
Runnin' on whiskey and backroad hum
My life is like a country song (yeah)
Bridge
One day I'll hit the lottery, or find love that sticks
Till then I'll raise a glass to all these kicks
Ain't complainin', no sir, it's my kinda tune
Play it loud on the radio, under this harvest moon
Chorus
My life is like a country song
Fulla heartache, two-steppin' wrong
Cheatin' fate with a steel guitar strum
Yeah, my life is like a country song (like a country song)
Runnin' on whiskey and backroad hum
My life is like a country song
(Oh yeah, like a country song)
Outro
Yeah... my life... like a country song... (fade out)
