One Of Them Buddies

(album: Parachute - 2019)

That old water tower smack dab in the middle of town
One time I was gonna spray paint big green pot plant on that
Then I sobered up and I looked around
And I couldn't believe what I seen
All my buddies grew up, had babies and a wife
But one of them buddies ain't me

'Cause I'm still riding around this town
Still blaring the same old songs
Still try to find a spot where the cops don't park
So I can get my Willie Nelson on
I still stay lit like a county fair
Sweeter than a jug of Milo's tea
Yeah, your buddies might've moved out their own hometown
But one of them buddies ain't me

Nah, it ain't me
Nah, it ain't me
Nah, it ain't me
Nah, it ain't me

They say buy a lift kit 'cause now you're rich but that's not my frame of mind
I still trim the bumper off in the front just to fit my 35s
I got the tread still humming down cracked asphalt
Singing Billy Bob loves Charlene
And I still love seeing that hometown life
Says welcome to Tennessee

And I'll be riding around this town
Still blaring your favorite songs
I'll be sitting in a spot where the cops ain't park
Getting my Ryan Upchurch on
Yeah you know I'm lit like a county fair
Stay chugging on Milo's tea
Yeah, your buddies might've moved out their own hometown
But one of them buddies ain't me

Nah, it ain't me
Nah, it ain't me
Nah, it ain't me
Nah, it ain't me

'Cause I'm still riding around this town
Still blaring the same old songs
Still try to find a spot where the cops don't park
So I can get my Willie Nelson on
I still stay lit like a county fair
Sweeter than a jug of Milo's tea
Yeah, your buddies might've moved out their own hometown
But one of them buddies ain't me
