By now I think I've heard every line
There is to hear 'bout a truck
And I've got the point that the beer tastes good
When you're down on your luck
But don't get me wrong a summer song
Sounds good when you're on the shore
But every now and then I wanna dig in
And hear something that means something more
Like a mama's love even when she don't approve
Four generations sittin' on the same church pew
A soldier's first steps back through his own front door
Yeah, something that means something more
It's amazing how this old guitar
Can say so many things
It can laugh, it can cry
It can bring you fortune and fame

But now as I'm sittin' down strummin' out these chords
I'm praying that it's saying
Something that means something more
Like a long lost friend on the other end of the line
A daddy's eyes when he holds his baby for the first time
Grandpa goin' to meet Grandma and the Lord
Yeah, something that means something more
Saying "I do," puttin' that ring on
Gettin' the news that the cancer's gone
Knowing that man up on the cross in a crown of thorns
Yeah, something that means something
Oh, something that means something
Something that means something more
Something more
