It was a home run when the game was tied
A pick up truck when I could drive
One pink line when katie said I'm late
It was a passing grade, a pretty girl
All the money in the world
What mattered then kept changing every day

But when I bow my head tonight
There'll be no me myself and I
Just watch my wife and kids please lord
That's all I ask for any more

Now a days it's crazy how

Ninety-five down the interstate
Mile high on a jet plane
Desert road or a downtown train
It's all the same
I can't outrun you

I could move to another town
Where nobody'd ask where you are now
LA or Mexico
No matter where I go
I can't outrun you

You're in my heart
You're in my mind
Everywhere ahead
Everywhere behind
Every turn I take
You're right around the bend

She was pretty
She was smart
She was witty
Yeah she had charm
Cupid shot me
That's what got me down the aisle
But that match made in heaven
Went straight to hell
Split up our possessions
Put the house up for sale
And I learned a lesson I won't be forgetting
The next time around

I'm gonna marry for money
I'll be so damn rich it ain't funny

Eighteen wheeler dropped me off at that city limits sign
Sunday morning sunlight hurt my eyes
It's a long way from where I been back to my home town
But there's a man in me I need to drown

Baptize me in that muddy water
Wash me clean in amazing grace
I ain't been living like I aughta
Baptize me in that muddy water

Made my way to the church at the end of the dirt road

Back as far as I remember Mama always worried about me
Ya See Mama knew my taste in women
She'd say whatever you do, boy find you one that's sweet
Mama I finally found one that I'd like you to meet

She's sweet like a Cadillac
Sweet like a stack of hard cash
Sweet like the diamond bling
Dangling down from her belly button ring
She's sweet like a handful of aces
Tattoos in secret places

I was there in the winter of '64
When we camped in the ice at Nashville's doors
Three hundred miles our trail had lead
We barely had time to bury our dead
When the Yankees charged and the colors fell
Overton hill was a living hell
When we called retreat it was almost dark
I died with a grapeshot in my heart

Say a prayer for peace
For every fallen son
Set my spirit free
Let me lay down my gun
