It Don't Get Better

I've been writing since ninety-five

Putting pen and pencil to paper

Trying to find a clever rhyme

That might make that radio

Songs about livin' and lovin' and leavin'

Fishin' and fast cars and freedom

But there ain't nothing like writin' bout the kind of life

You don't ever want to grow old

It don't get better than this

It don't get better than this

Front porch kissin' in the Spring as the sun goes down

Swingin' to the Cicadas tune

Man it don't get better than this

It don't get better than this

When you grab my hand start dancin' and I follow along

It don't get better than writin' bout home

It don't get better than right here at home

I've been too scared to take this chance

Put my heart out on the table

And let people hear these songs

And judge me the way they will

Truth is I ain't from a small town

But I was raised on nineties country

And they just don't sing it like Clint Black, George Straight, and Tanya T

Man it don't get better than this

It don't get better than this

Beach trips to 30A with the windows down

Singing Garths greatest hits

Man it don't get better than this

It don't get better than this

When you grab my hand start dancing' and I follow along

It don't get better than writin' bout home, yea

It don't get better than right here at home

I could see my name in lights

Or on a hundred different credits

Travel all across this land

And maybe see a few big stages

But the one thing that I really care about with these songs

Is that my families got something to hold on to when I'm gone

It don't get better than this

It don't get better than this

These little hands on mine

Strummin' this six string and tryin' to play along

Man it don't get better than this

It don't get better than this

When the kids jump in on that hook and start singing along

It don't get better than writin' bout home

It don't get better than right here at home

It don't get better than writin' bout

Sweat tea in the Summer time chasin' the fireflies as the night rolls in

Lake nights out in Bolivar watchin' that boat parade travel in, yea

Fireworks and lemonade stands all on a hot fourth of July night

Man, it don't get better than writin' bout the kind of life

You don't ever want to grow old

It don't get better than writin' bout home

It don't get better than right here at home
