Trucks and Tall Tales

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sixteen summers, keys in my hand, Daddy’s grin said, “Son, you’re a man.” Mama kissed my cheek, whispered, “Drive slow,” That ol’ Chevy hummed down a gravel road. Friends in the bed, laughin’ at the sky, Bonfire smoke mixin’ with fireflies. Cold beer cracked, guitars in the air, Mom’s voice yellin’, “Y’all stay right there!” [Chorus] Trucks and dirt roads, fishin’ line tight, Daddy’s lessons, mama’s porch light. Huntin’ dawns, bucks in the haze, Livin’ every minute like a country cliché. Blare that radio, let the twang collide, Friends, family, and this feelin’ inside— Yeah, we’re young, wild, and unashamed, Burnin’ life down like a flame without a name. [Verse 2] Dad’s old rod bent, “Reel steady, don’t rush,” Sunset painted the lake in a hush. Mom’s apple pie coolin’ by the screen door, We’d sneak a slice, then beg her for more. Buddy’s shotgun, ducks in the blind, Mud on the tires, dirt on my mind. Friday nights, parkin’ by the creek, Singin’ every word till our throats got weak. [Chorus] Trucks and dirt roads, fishin’ line tight, Daddy’s lessons, mama’s porch light. Huntin’ dawns, bucks in the haze, Livin’ every minute like a country cliché. Blare that radio, let the twang collide, Friends, family, and this feelin’ inside— Yeah, we’re young, wild, and unashamed, Burnin’ life down like a flame without a name. [Bridge] Time’s a river, but these memories stick, Like the smell of diesel and old pinewood sticks. I’ll raise my can to the ones still here, To the ones we’ve lost, to the cheers we’ll cheer. [Chorus] Trucks and dirt roads, fishin’ line tight, Daddy’s lessons, mama’s porch light. Huntin’ dawns, bucks in the haze, Livin’ every minute like a country cliché. Blare that radio, let the twang collide, Friends, family, and this feelin’ inside— Yeah, we’re young, wild, and unashamed, Burnin’ life down like a flame without a name. [Outro]
