  • Down where I was born was heaven on earth
    The Flint River washes that red Georgia dirt
    The sun sets slow and the stars shine bright
    We raised cotton, corn, a little cane, and kids
    You either lived on a farm or wish you did
    Jesus always walked close by our side
    Where I grew up, we rode in trucks

    There's a lot about life we learned on the bus,
    How to lie, how to fight, how to kiss, how to cuss
    The closer we sat to the back, the smarter we got
    We were poor, we were ugly, we were all best friends
    White-eyed, baptized, and still wantin' to sin
    Thank God we get more than just one shot
    Where I grew up, we rode in trucks

    That's us, haulin' hay in the field with the radio on
    That's us, headin' straight into town when the work is done
    In my mind, I can still see us now,
    Ridin' down Buck Island Road
    It wasn't that long ago

    We thought tobacco and beer in a can
    Was all it would take to be like our old man
    But I saw how it made my momma cry
    It was huntin' and fishin' and football games
    Then it was girls, and everything changed
    Fallin' in and out of love, we rode in trucks

    That's us with our tailgates down in the parking lot
    That's us with mud on our tires when it rained a lot
    In my mind, I can still see us now
    Ridin' down Buck Island Road
    It wasn't that long ago
    It's apart of my soul, yeah
    It's apart of my soul

    Down where I was born, it was heaven on earth
    The Flint River washes that red Georgia dirt
    The sun sets slow and the stars shine bright
    Where I grew up
    We rode in trucks Writer/s: JIM MCCORMICK, LUKE BRYAN, ROGER ALAN MURRAH
