"Midwest Memoir" lyrics

"Midwest Memoir"

We were wailin' at the exit signs on Highway 49
Couple short of a DUI, thank God for 40th lane
Bootleggers with Miller Lite
Blue Camel Crushes was the appetite
A cabin party ain't classified
Just bring the whole crew over
Just know that we ain't sober

We were John Deere green, dirt road poor
Buy a case of beer to settle the score
Drivin' too drunk in our cars
Prayin' for rain, burnin' midnight oil
Tryna get ahead but just diggin' a hole
Always goin' too fast, never gettin' too far
That's a Midwest memoir

City queens want a limousine
Got thirty in the pasture that are ready to feed
Hard work but we're livin' the dream
Just take us as you see

We were John Deere green, dirt road poor
Buy a case of beer to settle the score
Drivin' too drunk in our cars
Prayin' for rain, burnin' midnight oil
Tryna get ahead but just diggin' a hole
Always goin' too fast, never gettin' too far
That's a Midwest memoir
That's a Midwest memoir

Fightin' tooth and nail not to go to jail
Somethin' I couldn't do well
Midwest women made it harder'n hell
Not much to twistin' my arm
We'll be over in the hour

We were John Deere green, dirt road poor
Buy a case of beer to settle the score
Drivin' too drunk in our cars
Prayin' for rain, burnin' midnight oil
Tryna get ahead but just diggin' a hole
Always goin' too fast, never gettin' too far
That's a Midwest memoir
That's a Midwest memoir
That's a Midwest memoir
