Thanks for Nothing

[Verse 1]
No highways, no corner bars
No city lights to blind them stars
There ain't much to the place that I grew up in
I'da give anything when I was a kid
If they'da put an arcade or a Cinemark in
But, man, we'da missed all the weekends that we spent huntin'
Thanks for nothing

[Chorus]
Had nothing to do but just drive around
Be young and dumb and a little too loud
Had nothing but time to sweet talk a girl
Write our names on that dirt road world
I learned who I am and who God is too
Out there with the fields and the still of the moon
Wish I could tell that town that I grew up in
Thanks for nothing

[Verse 2]
Thanks for that little pond on the back of the farm
Learned to school them fish and play guitar
And under them trees, you could drink with no interruptions
Thanks for nothing

[Chorus]
Had nothing to do but just drive around
Be young and dumb and a little too loud
Had nothing but time to sweet talk a girl
Write our names on that dirt road world
I learned who I am and who God is too
Out there in the quiet and the wide-open blue
Wish I could tell that town that I grew up in
Thanks for nothing

[Bridge]
And now I've got me a spot way out here
The birds all scatter when I crack a cold beer
No cars to drown out the sound of that river running
And it ain't forevermore, but God I love it
Thanks for nothing
Thanks for nothing

[Chorus]
Nothing to do but just drive around
Be young and dumb and a little too loud
Had nothing but time to sweet talk a girl
Write our names on that dirt road world
I learned who I am and who God is too
Out there with the fields and the still of the moon
Wish I could tell that town that I grew up in
Thanks for nothing

[Post-Chorus]
Thanks for nothing
