Nothing Much To Do

(album: Burn It At Both Ends - 2020)

County was dry when we grew up
We had a buddy with a beard and a truck a fake ID
Seventeen
Marshall Tucker and Marlboro Reds
Baseball caps and lettermans
Took State that year
We were kings 'round here
When that small town shut down
'Bout the time we'd head out

Back when we were back roads
Just a-living our lives
Like the songs on the radio
We were doing it right
I don't know where the time goes
It's amazing what we got ourselves into
When there wasn't nothing much to do

Homecoming Queens and three-and-outs
Post-game hangs at the Huddle House
Talking 'bout what we would do when we got out
Oh, but what I wouldn't give right now

To be back when we were back roads
Just a-living our lives
Like the songs on the radio
We were doing it right
I don't know where the time goes
It's amazing what we got ourselves into
When there wasn't nothing much to do

We grew up and we slowed down
Some moved on, some stuck around
I just want one more go around

Back when we were back roads
Just a-living our lives
Like the songs on the radio
We were doing it right
Yeah, back when we were back roads
Just a-living our lives
Like the songs on the radio
We were doing it right
I don't know where the time goes
It's amazing what we got ourselves into
When there wasn't nothing much to do
