If It Wasn’t For Trucks

Why would any teenage boy cut grass?

Sweat all summer, savin' cash

Dream about turnin' heads downtown

With straight pipes on a hand-me-down

And how would anybody's daddy get around?

To mend the fences and feed the cows

Where the hell would a small town girl climb up?

If it wasn't for trucks

And where would I've raised all that hell?

And talked to God all by myself

How would I've got to Tennessee?

Without a bucket seat?

Where was I supposed to cry that July day granddaddy died?

Or haul that deer, drank that beer

Fell in and out of love

If it wasn't for trucks

Where would I've first heard Merle?

Got the nerve to kiss a green eyed girl?

Where would old dogs ride?

And where would life fly by?

And where would I've raised all that hell?

And talked to God all by myself

How would I've got to Tennessee?

Without a bucket seat?

Where was I supposed to cry that July day granddaddy died?

Or haul that deer, drank that beer

Fell in and out of love

If it wasn't for trucks

Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks

I wouldn't be who I am today

If it wasn't for a short bed Chevrolet

Where would I've raised all that hell?

And talked to God all by myself

How would I've got to Tennessee?

And where would I be?

Where was I supposed to cry that July day granddaddy died?

Or haul that deer, drank that beer

Fell in and out of love

If it wasn't for trucks

Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks
