Where I Learned To Live

“Where I Learned to Live” [Verse 1] There’s a two-lane road past the water tower sign, Rows of corn stretchin’ as far as your eyes, Cows in the pasture, late summer days, Sun settin’ slow in a hayfield haze. I learned right from wrong on a front porch swing, With a Bible verse and a weddin’ ring, Daddy’s old words still hold up true, In a town where everybody knew you. [chorus] I got a Ford F-350, dust on the chrome, Country on the radio, takin’ me home, A good wife prayin’ when the day runs long, Still believin’ love stays strong. I don’t need much, just what I got, Hard work, faith, and a little bit of luck, Yeah, this is where I learned to live, Sonora, Kentucky. [Verse 2] Friday night lights by the county line, Kids chasin’ fireflies, passin’ time, Church bells ring when Sunday comes ‘round, Same old prayers in a small-town sound. I’ve seen a few roads, but I always knew, I’d find my way back to this view, Red dirt dust and a peaceful mind, The kind of life you don’t leave behind. [chorus] I got a Ford F-350, dust on the chrome, Country on the radio, takin’ me home, A good wife prayin’ when the day runs long, Still believin’ love stays strong. I don’t need much, just what I got, Hard work, faith, and a little bit of luck, Yeah, this is where I learned to live, Sonora, Kentucky. [Bridge] The world moves fast, but I don’t mind, It still slows down on this stretch of time. [Final Chorus] Yeah, that Ford F-350’ll carry me home, Past fields I’ve loved since I was grown, With a good wife, faith, and a simple life, I got more than most ever find. When it’s all said and done, this is me, Rooted deep where I’m meant to be, This is where I learned to live, Sonora, Kentucky.
