Cause all i know, is that time sure shows
sometimes its hard to let go, feelings seem to grow
but I'm finding a life
where I'm at feels right
this is my cloud 9, this land of mine
living life out in the pines
yeahhh, whoa
living life out in the pines
yeah, whoa
My daddy was a hard working man
could fix anything with his own two hands
Mr. Macgyver what he called himself
be there for anybody if they ever needed help
i would always love when he would take me fishing
or help me with my bike when it needed fix in
he was the one who gave me my mission
he's been gone eleven years now lord i sure miss him
but theres no better way to say when you live your life
to the true southern way
to not back down
to never be afraid i think my pops for the way i was raised
(chorus)
wide open, thats how i live
swing on the front porch over looking the field
no honking horns or no loud sirens
just relaxing sounds of birds and crickets chirping and chiming (thats right)
I spend my time with family and friends
we enjoy the fire up the grill and smoke us some ribs
or walk to the pond catch a couple of fish
or sit by the fire with a guitar playing a couple of riffs
this country life's as real as it gets
im a true rebel here with no regrets
my wife and daughter keep me strong
cause there aint no place like home
(chorus) x2
