[Verse 1]
I was born as a hick down the derby at the race car track
I was born as a TV dinner, the lazy man's crack
I was born in the 40's when they moon suited up a man

We were drinking whiskey on a sunday afternoon
Rosied up your cheeks then you took me to your room
Told me all the things that I outta know that you'd been through
Told me if you had the chance, if you found I heart like mine
It's mine you'd choose
