I didn't want arrows or cap guns in a holster
I didn't want Uncle Sam or Superman posters
I played a rubber band shoebox guitar
Mama made me famous on a VCR
My old man was winning hands at Texas hold em
He always found a way to make a few bucks and blow em
Man, Billy Graham could make the devil a believer
Through a pair of those Panasonic speakers
On the edge of broke but we never felt poor
We were always a couple days late, a few dollars short
Aw but growing up we had enough cause the radio was free
Dylan was a prophet
And Cash was king
I was burning hot 50 kilowatt WSM red
Goodbye lady Dye I cried when they said Cobain died
I rode the pines walked the line
Jake was my first kiss
It was good til it was gone another swing and miss
Got a refund on a prom suit and pink corsage
Worked all summer on that fixer upper old Dodge
Lot of White Castle flipped the tassel on the gown
They told me the world was flat, I'd show em it was round
On the edge of broke but we never felt poor
We were always a couple days late, a few dollars short
Yeah but growing up we had enough cause the radio was free
Miller was a Joker
And Cash was king
Scratched up vinyl, tent revival
Praise the Lord
Big hat, no cattle, beer cans rattle
Flat bed Ford
Yeah we were
On the edge of broke but we never felt poor
We were always a couple days late, a few dollars short
Yeah but growing up we had enough cause the radio was free
Dolly's still the queen
And Cash is still king
