Livin’ Above My Station

Lyrics

Well I never been to college I barely finished seventh grade That don't make me worse nor better I'm just made the way I'm made Workin' hard at what I'm good at Pumpin' gas and fixin' cars I like the smell of gasoline And I don't mind passin' tires Paid my dues by working places Where the owner's hands was clean Ain't no Christian thought Erases how he treated me so mean But I done the thing he asked me And I smiled right to his facе Cuz I knew that in a year or two I's gonna own that place And I kеpt my dreams within my reach And every one came true Cuz when you stick to what you're good at Good things come to you And now I'm happy here livin' above my station I ain't jokin' when I say that it's a gas Come and fill your tank up downstairs at my station Then y'all come with me upstairs and get your glass You'll see I'm happy here livin' above my station I got no complaint at all about my life Cuz there's just one way to live above your station And that's with your friends and Dr. Pepper and your wife Well I got friends back in Wyoming Where I spent my early days Livin' lives like Willy Loman Losin' sleep to get a raise In pursuit of some great fortune They go runnin' off afar Don't they realize that happiness Is just being who y'are And I hear them talk about me I can hear the things they say That I could have been a doctor Or a lawyer in L.A But I tell them 'bout that carpenter Who's greatness fills us all And I realize that in his eyes No dream is ever small And I kept my dreams within my reach And every one came true 'Cuz when you stick to what you're good at Good things come to you And now I'm happy, here livin' above my station I ain't jokin' when I say that it's a gas Come and fill your tank up down here at my station Then y'all come with me upstairs and get your glass You'll see I'm happy here livin' above my station I got no complaints at all about my life Cuz there's just one way to live above your station And that's with your friends and Dr. Pepper and your wife
