Rather Be Us

(album: Two Thousand Miles - 2020)

Baby, look at this couple on Instagram
Tryna make the whole world jealous
That perfect filter and that perfect tan
Looking like they got something to sell us

But that sand ain't really that white
And that ain't real blue in her eyes
I bet the stars ain't nearly as bright
As they are looking up from the bed of this truck

I'd rather be us
Laying here with the radio on
Off the map, lost in the moment
All we got is a kiss and a song
And some real good love
Looking at it from the outside in
It might look like we don't have enough
But anytime, any day of the week, girl
I'd rather be us

Who wouldn't wanna be you
Who wouldn't wanna be me
Who wouldn't want what we got

These ripped up jeans and these dirty boots
Might be a little out of fashion
There's bigger diamonds and there's faster cars
Things we can't even imagine

Yeah, but the grass ain't always that green
Nothing is quite as good as it seems
And I'm already living my dream
I'm all good right here just feeling your touch

I'd rather be us
Laying here with the radio on
Off the map, lost in the moment
All we got is a kiss and a song
And some real good love
Looking at it from the outside in
It might look like we don't have enough
But anytime, any day of the week, girl
I'd rather be us

Yeah, sometimes it's nice to fly that high
But I've grown a love for tasting dollar wine
Yeah, baby

I'd rather be us
Laying here with the radio on
Off the map, lost in the moment
All we got is a kiss and a song
And some real good love
Looking at it from the outside in
It might look like we don't have enough
But anytime, any day of the week, girl
I'd rather be us

Who wouldn't wanna be you
Who wouldn't wanna be me
Who wouldn't want what we got
I'd rather be us
Who wouldn't wanna be you
Who wouldn't wanna be me
Who wouldn't want what we got
