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
