Hose Water

Wore cutoff blue jeans

And not a drop of sunscreen

We drove trucks at 15

Bald tires making hayfield ruts

A Chevy key in your right hand

Punch a hole in a beer can

Acting tough chewing red man

And you'd get your butt tore up

If mama ever heard you cuss

Yeah, that's just the way it was

Way back where I grew up

Bare feet on a county road

Stealing kisses on a turn row

It's been a minute, yeah, it's been a while

But I'd drive a million two-lane miles

To a town that's smaller

And gas was a dollar

When the days got hotter

You'd take a sip of that hose water

First smoke in a parking lot

Second base was far as you got

Filling signs full of buckshot

At least the one you didn't run through

When there wasn't nothing else to do

Yeah, that's just the way it was

Way back where I grew up

Bare feet on a county road

Stealing kisses on a turn row

It's been a minute, yeah, it's been a while

But I'd drive a million two-lane miles

To a town that's smaller

And gas was a dollar

When the days got hotter

You'd take a sip of that hose water

♪

Days were slower

World was younger

Time was simpler

Momma yelled, "Supper"

Problems were fewer

Lived for the summer

Wish I'd known I'd never get another

Yeah, that's just the way it was

Way back where I grew up

Bare feet on a county road

Stealing kisses on a turn row

It's been a minute, yeah, it's been a while

But I'd drive a million two-lane miles

To a town that's smaller
