If You’re Lucky
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] You grew up in a town Where the clock in the town square Gets it right twice a day Rode a Bluebird to Friday night Games where them Friday lights Shined on the team that took State Took a Skoal can from your old man Packed it with your right hand And faded a ring in your jeans Put a fishing hook in your ball cap Turned around then talked trash About a place you swore that you'd leave [Chorus 1] If you're lucky you mixed your Dr. Dre With some Tim McGraw in a Chevrolet Handed down from your daddy to your brother to you You ran red lights, stayed away from the blue If you're lucky you got hammered in a buddy's barn Then hillbilly slipped with a girl on your arm That you swore you would marry but you didn't Naw, it wasn't all pretty but you lived it If you're lucky [Verse 2] You mowed yards, you washed cars So come time in late March You'd be on the beach for spring break You threw one hell of a party Took shots, yelled, "Go Army" For your buddy 'fore he shipped away You got less regrets and never-dids More I-was-theres than should've beens [Chorus 2] Yeah, if you're lucky you mixed your Dr. Dre With some Tim McGraw in a Chevrolet Handed down from your daddy to your brother to you You ran red lights, stayed away from the blue If you're lucky, you got hammered in a buddy's barn Got a half-true story, a full-blown scar And now remember back when it started with it Naw, it wasn't all pretty but you lived it If you're lucky If you're lucky [Chorus 3] Yeah, if you're lucky you mixed your Dr. Dre With some Tim McGraw in a Chevrolet Handed down from your daddy to your brother to you You ran red lights, stayed away from the blue If you're lucky you heard Psalm 23 Your mama fried chicken, and your roots run deep You watched the sunset fade with a pretty girl Took a long slow sip to a hell of a world If you're lucky Yeah, I'm pretty lucky
