[Verse 1] Now I know how Merle Haggard felt When he sang the words mama tried And Ive lived those teenage Friday Nights The pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight And that Summer Becky broke my heart Alabama sang old flame burnin Ive danced to George Strait Dank to George Jones My lifes been a country song [Chorus] Its all about fallin down and gettin back up Youre good times and hard luck True love and Amazing Grace Workin all week for a backache Raisin cain, Friday nights Sunday church to set it right They can write it on my stone My lifes been a country song [Verse 2] Now I know how Paycheck felt when He told his boss to take this job and shove it And Ive had the girl that made me say I like it, I love it, I want some more of it And Ill always remember just where I was When the world stopped turning Through the good and bad The right and the wrong My lifes been a country song [Chorus] Its all about fallin down and gettin back up Youre good times and hard luck True love and Amazing Grace Workin all week for a backache Raisin cain, Friday nights Sunday church to set it right They can write it on my stone My lifes been a country song [Bridge] Its been the words when I couldnt find em A friend when Ive been alone Its been a toast to the things remembered The strength for movin on [Chorus] Its all about fallin down and gettin back up Youre good times and hard luck True love and Amazing Grace Workin all week for a backache Raisin cain, Friday nights Sunday church to set it right They can write it on my stone My lifes been a country song Oh, my lifes been a country song
