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

[Chorus]
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
