If It Wasn’t For Trucks (Live)

[Intro]
So, a couple years ago, I got a lil' bit upset
'Cause nobody'd ever written a song about a truck in country music
And I figured, by God, there oughta be one, so I wrote this song
This my most recent single to country radio
A song I wrote called "If It Wasn't For Trucks"

[Verse 1]
Why would any teenage boy cut grass?
Sweat all summer, savin' cash
Dream about turnin' heads downtown
Straight pipes on a hand-me-down
How would anybody's daddy get around
To mend the fences and feed the cows?
Where the hell would a Huntsville girl climb up
If it wasn't for trucks?

[Chorus]
Where would I have raised all that hell?
Talked to God all by mysеlf?
How would I have got to Tennessee
Without a buckеt seat?
Where was I supposed to cry that July day granddaddy died?
Or haul that deer, drink that beer?
Fell in and out of love
If it wasn't for trucks

[Verse 2]
Where would I've first heard of Merle?
Got the nerve to kiss a green-eyed girl?
Where would old dogs ride?
Where would life fly by?

[Chorus]
Where would I have raised all that hell?
Talked to God all by myself?
How would I have got to Tennessee
Without a bucket seat?
Where was I supposed to cry that July day granddaddy died?
Or haul that deer, drink that beer?
Fell in and out of love
If it wasn't for trucks
Y'all, give it up for Tim on the flat guitar tonight

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks

[Bridge]
Wouldn't be who I am today
If it wasn't for a short bed Chevrolet
I sure did see a bunch of trucks parked out here in the parking lot and bay
I knew I was gonna find rednecks down here

[Chorus]
Where would I have raised (All that hell?)
(Talked to God all by myself?)
(How would I have got to Tennessee)
Where would I be?
Where was I supposed to cry that July day granddaddy died?
Or haul that deer, drink that beer?
Fell in and out of love
If it wasn't for trucks

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks
