Down where I was born was Heaven on Earth
Where Flint River washes that red Georgia dirt
The sun sets slow and the stars shine bright
We raised cotton, corn, a little cane and kids
You either lived on a farm or wish you did
Jesus always walked close by our side
Where I grew up we rode in trucks

There's a lot about life we learned on a bus
How to lie, how to fight, how to kiss, how to cuss
The closer we sat to the back, the smarter we got
We were poor, we were ugly, we were all best friends
Wide-eyed, baptized and still wanting to sin
Thank God, we get more than just one shot
Where I grew up we rode in trucks

That's us
Hauling hay in the field with the radio on
And that's us
Heading straight into town when the work was done
In my mind I can still see us now
Riding down Buck Island Road
It wasn't that long ago

We thought tobacco and beer in a can
Was all it would take to be like our ol' man
But I saw how it made my momma cry
It was hunting and fishing and football games
Then it was girls and everything changed
Falling in and outta love, we rode in trucks

That's us
With our tailgates down in the parking lot
That's us
With mud on our tires when it rained a lot
In my mind I can still see us now
Riding down Buck Island Road
It wasn't that long ago
It's part of my soul, yeah
It's part of my soul

Down where I was born was Heaven on Earth
Where Flint River washes that red Georgia dirt
The sun sets slow and the stars shine bright
Where I grew up we rode in trucks
