Pretty girls, pickup trucks, whiskey drink, a good buzz
Small town, red clay, paycheck, Friday
Hot sauce, cold beer, the way they talk around here
Old boots, ball cap, little tiny dot on the state map
Speakers in the back of Jimmy's ‘85 Regal
Smoke blowing out the window, no, it ain't legal
(Don't give a damn what you think)
I'm talking real people
Mama's on the front porch threading that needle
Daddy spent his life running from the church steeple
(Don't give a damn what you think)
I'm talking real people
Stop sign, bullet holes, small mouth, fishing poles
Grandpa waving, Jesus still saving
BC's powder, V8 power
Neighbors gonna lend a hand
Well, hell yeah, I'm American
Speakers in the back of Jimmy's ‘85 Regal
Smoke blowing out the window, no, it ain't legal
(Don't give a damn what you think)
I'm talking real people
Mama's on the front porch threading that needle
Daddy spent his life running from the church steeple
(Don't give a damn what you think)
I'm talking real people
When we're living like we want
That means we made it
When it runs through your soul
There's no way to fake it
When we're living like we want
That means we made it
When it runs through your soul
There's no way to fake it
