[Verse 1] Can’t beat this Kentucky rain This six-string never lets me down It’s just me and this cloudy day Writing songs about this town [Pre-Chorus] Just a boy and his guitar [Chorus] Pickin’ it up, strummin’ it slow Throwin’ ā€˜em out, seein’ what sticks Stayin’ up late, drinkin’ and singin’ Chasin’ a dream I just can’t quit You know the life I’m talkin’ about [Verse 2] Wrote one ā€˜bout leavin’, one ā€˜bout love One ā€˜bout Jesus, one ā€˜bout trucks Livin’ for the chorus, bleedin’ for the verse When I get it right, it’s a blessing and a curse [Pre-Chorus] Just a boy and his guitar [Chorus] Pickin’ it up, strummin’ it slow Throwin’ ā€˜em out, seein’ what sticks Stayin’ up late, drinkin’ and singin’ Chasin’ a dream I just can’t quit You know the life I’m talkin’ about [Hook] Do you know what I’m talkin’ about? It’s more than words on a page It’s a little piece of who I am And every song I play [Bridge] Some nights in a little bar downtown Some nights on the front porch swing Playin’ for a crowd, playin’ for my wife Still chasin’ that melody [Pre- Chorus] Every mile and every road Finds its way into these strings And every time I play that old refrain It sounds a little more like me [Final Chorus] Pickin’ it up, strummin’ it slow Throwin’ ā€˜em out, seein’ what sticks Stayin’ up late, drinkin’ and singin’ Chasin’ a dream I just can’t quit Yeah, I’ve come a long, long way But that six-string still feels right I’m just a boy with a song to sing And I’ll be playin’ it all my life You know the life I’m talkin’ about [Outro] Yeah, do you know what I’m talkin’ about? Just a boy and his guitar Kentucky rain comin’ down And a dream that’s gotten me this far Just a boy and his guitar
