My Life's Been A Country Song

Now I know how Merle Haggard felt when he sang the words mama tried And I've lived those teenage Friday nights With a pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight And that summer Becky broke my heart Alabama sang old flame burnin' Well I've danced with George Strait Drank with George Jones My life's been a country song It'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 back ache Raisin' cane, Friday nights, Sunday church to set it right They can write it on my stone, My life's been a country song Now I know how Paycheck felt When he told his boss he can 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 it' And 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 song It'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 back ache Raisin' cane, Friday nights, Sunday church to set it right They can write it on my stone, My life's been a country song Bridge: It's been the words when I couldn't find 'em A friend when I've been alone It's been the toast to things remembered, the strength for movin on It'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 back ache Raisin' cane, 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
