Grab a hammer
Drive you a nail
Spend your weekend
In the county jail
See your friends
Laying in the ground
[Chorus]
You live the life I lived
You would know
The way Country sounds
[Pre-Chorus]
It sounds like this
It sounds like that
It sounds like the weight of the world on your back
Is sounds like heaven
When you feel a lil' down
[Chorus]
You live the life I lived
You would know
The way Country sounds
You worked all day
In the hot hot sun
Spend your life
On the run
Hear your mamma
Crying 'cause she's all alone
Hear nobody
On the other end of the phone
[Pre-Chorus]
It sounds like this
It sounds like that
It sounds like the weight of the world on your back
Is sounds like heaven
When you feel a lil' down
[Chorus]
You live the life I lived
You would know
The way Country sounds
And I had heartache
Lord, I had pain
And I had to struggle
With the needle in my vein
And I've been lost
Just to walk in down town
[Chorus]
You live the life I lived
You would know
The way Country sounds
[Pre-Chorus]
It sounds like this
It sounds like that
It sounds like the weight of the world on your back
Is sounds like heaven
When you feel a lil' down
[Chorus x2]
You live the life I lived
You would know
The way Country sounds
