I couldn't wait to turn sixteen And drive all the boys around Foot on the gas and hands on the wheel Was all I could think about A little rust in the bed of that truck And a four speed on the floor Five hundred dollars It was mine all mine And I never wanted nothing more I took Katie down by the river With a six dollar bottle of wine Just a fool tryin' to play it cool Hopin' she'd let me cross the line And I was prayin' that she couldn't tell I'd never been that far before The first time's a one time feeling And I never wanted nothin' more No I never wanted nothin' more Well, I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not And I'm sure happy with what I've got I live to love and laugh a lot And that's all I need My buddies all tried to change my mind But I told them that I thought it through Well Katie laughed and my momma cried When they heard me say I do Her little ring was a little thing But it was all that I could afford Now shes mine all mine Till the day I die And I never wanted nothing more No I never wanted nothing more Well, I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not And I'm sure happy with what I've got I live to love and laugh a lot And that's all I need One Sunday I listened to the preacher And I knew he was preaching to me I couldn't help it I walked up front And I got down on my knee Right then and there I swear I changed when I found the Lord Glory Hallelujah good God Almighty I never wanted nothing more No I never wanted nothing more Well, I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not And I'm sure happy with what I've got I live to love and laugh a lot And that's all I need I never wanted nothing more And I never wanted nothing more
