Skippin' rocks, skippin' rope
Laughin' at all my best friends jokes
Things I loved when I was a kid
Muddy roads, muddy feet
I didn't live on no blacktop street
Things have changed a lot but I never did

And I don't want to think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just want to live until I die

Livin' right, livin' in this little old town I grew up in
But I still held on to my dreams
Standin' proud, standin' tall
Standin' smack dab in the middle of it all
I don't worry 'bout things that I can't change

And I don't want to think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just want to live until I die

And everything around me are
Things I dearly love
And every night I get on my knees and thank
The lord above

And I don't want to think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just want to live until I die

I don't have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just want to live until I die
