I couldn't wait to turn sixteen
And drive all the boys around
Foot on the gas and hands on the wheel
Was all I could think about
A little rust in the bed of that truck
And a four speed on the floor
Five hundred dollars it was mine, all mine
And I never wanted nothing more
I took Katie down by the river
With a six dollar bottle of wine
Just a fool tryin' to play it cool
Hopin' she'd let me cross the line
And I was prayin' that she couldn't tell
I'd never been that far before
The first time's a one time feeling
And I never wanted nothin' more
Naw I never wanted nothin' more
Well, I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not
And I'm sure happy with what I've got
I live to love and laugh a lot
And that's all I need
My buddies all tried to change my mind
But I told them that I thought it through
Well, Katie laughed and my momma cried
When they heard me say, “I do”
Her little ring was a little thing
But it was all that I could afford
Now she's mine all mine till the day I die
And I never wanted nothing more
Naw I never wanted nothing more
Well, I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not
And I'm sure happy with what I've got
I live to love and laugh a lot
And that's all I need
One Sunday I listened to the preacher
And I knew he was preaching to me
I couldn't help it, I walked up front
And I got down on my knees
Right then and there I swear
I changed when I found the Lord
Glory Hallelujah, Good God Almighty
I never wanted nothing more
Naw I never wanted nothing more
Well, I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not
And I'm sure happy with what I've got
I live to love and laugh a lot
And that's all I need
I never wanted nothing more
And I never wanted nothing more
