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)
