[Verse One:]

Now I know how Merle Haggard felt when he sang the words mama tried
And I've lived those teenage Friday nights, the pyrmid of cans in the pale moon light And that Summer Becky broke my heart
Alabama sang old flame burnin' Well I've measured George Strait, a drink of George Jones, my life's been a country song

[Chorus:]

It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up, your good times and hard luck True love and amazing grace, workin' all
week for a back ache Raisin' caine, Friday nights, Sunday church to set it right They can write it on my stone, my life's
been a country song

[Verse Two:]

Now I know how Paycheck felt when he told his boss he can take his job and shove it And I've had the girl that made me say
I like it, I love it, I want some more of it And I'll always remember just where I was when the world stopped turnin'
Through the good and the bad, the right and the wrong, my life's been a country song

[Chorus:]

It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up, your good times and hard luck True love and amazing grace, workin' all
week for a back ache Raisin' caine, Friday nights, Sunday church to set it right They can write it on my stone, my life's
been a country song

[Bridge:]

It's been the words when I couldn't find 'em A friend when I've been alone It's been the toast to things to remember, the
strength for movin on

[Chorus:]

It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up, your good times and hard luck True love and amazing grace, workin' all
week for a back ache Raisin' caine, Friday nights, Sunday church to set it right They can write it on my stone, my life's
been a country song

Oh, my life's been a country song
