"Don't Want More" lyrics
Grew up in a twelve-hundred-square-foot hand-me-down home
Second generation that my grandparents owned
Daddy made his living off tobacco turn rows
It was hard, but he wouldn't do it different
Mama got a job at the bank counting cash
Spent my summers in the sun cutting grass
Just so I could save up twenty dollars' worth of cash
Put some gas in a four-by-four
The kind of life you don't want more
Where that Red River bend rope swing's still swinging
A backyard whip-poor-will song's still singing
Your roots run deep in some last-name land
Them back roads still take you way back then
You find a girl that you love, let your knee hit the ground
Couple dogs, couple kids in a map-dot town
Just taking pages out of a book my daddy wrote
Oh, go to work, go to church, watch a sunset from a front porch
That's the kind of life where you don't want more
No
Younger me had dreams of the city
Couldn't take anymore of this old little bitty
Sick [?] of every day nitty-gritty
But looking back now from where I'm sitting
That Red River bend rope swing's still swinging
A backyard whip-poor-will song's still singing
Your roots run deep in some last-name land
Them back roads still take you way back then
You find a girl that you love, let your knee hit the ground
Couple dogs, couple kids in a map-dot town
Just taking pages out of a book my daddy wrote
Oh, go to work, go to church, watch a sunset from a front porch
That's the kind of life where you don't want more
Kind of life where you don't want more
I was born here, I live here
Now I'm damn sure I'll die here
Where that Red River bend rope swing's still swinging
A backyard whip-poor-will song's still singing
Your roots run deep in some last-name land
Them back roads still take you way back then
You find a girl that you love, let your knee hit the ground
Couple dogs, couple kids in a map-dot town
Just taking pages out of a book my daddy wrote
Oh, go to work, go to church, watch a sunset from a front porch
Go to work, go to church, better know what you're living for
That's the kind of life where you don't want more
No
Kind of life where you don't want more
No
Second generation that my grandparents owned
Daddy made his living off tobacco turn rows
It was hard, but he wouldn't do it different
Mama got a job at the bank counting cash
Spent my summers in the sun cutting grass
Just so I could save up twenty dollars' worth of cash
Put some gas in a four-by-four
The kind of life you don't want more
Where that Red River bend rope swing's still swinging
A backyard whip-poor-will song's still singing
Your roots run deep in some last-name land
Them back roads still take you way back then
You find a girl that you love, let your knee hit the ground
Couple dogs, couple kids in a map-dot town
