Now I know how Merle Haggard felt when he sang the words "Mama Tried" And I 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 Burning" Well, I've danced with George Strait, drank with George Jones My life's been a country song [Chorus] It's all about falling down and getting back up Yeah, good times and hard luck True love and amazing grace Working all week for a back ache Raisin' cane on 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 told his boss to 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 turning" Through the good and the bad, the right and the wrong My life's been a country song [Chorus] It's been the words when I couldn't find 'em, a friend when I've been alone It's been a toast to the things remembered, the strength for moving on [Chorus] Oh, my life's been a country song
