Bilingual
I sipped water from a hose, put pennies on a track
Caught lightning bugs in a Mason jar
Had a rock for a ball, and a stick for bat
I was Chipper Jones in that backyard
Fast as number three I turned sixteen
That first pinch of dip turned me Copenhagen green
Go to any map dot, you'll see
There's a whole lot more growing up like me
Here's to the ones keeping ol Merle spinning
Midnight first time cornrow kissing
New coat of water tower spray-painted names
New crop of crop growers praying for rain
From Saturday bonfires to Sunday pews
Filling in all them hand-me-down boots
Making sure that the roots in them towns don't die
Here's to the boys and the girls keepin' country alive
In a town somewhere, talking way out there
There's a boy waking up
Mowin' that grass, turning green into gas
So he can go pick her up
There's a girl on the porch and he gets to the door
Her daddy strikes the fear of God in that boy
Mama says Honey, they're just kids
Growing up just like we did
Here's to the ones keeping ol Merle spinning
Midnight first time cornrow kissing
New coat of water tower spray-painted names
New crop of crop growers praying for rain
From Saturday bonfires to Sunday pews
Filling in all them hand-me-down boots
Making sure that the roots in them towns don't die
Here's to the boys and the girls keepin' country alive
