High Life

(album: Mercury Lane - 2018)

It's a two lane town one blink and it's gone
With a Norman Rockafeller water tower painted on
Kinda hits you like a country song
Stays with you when you're moving on
The river is cool when the summer is hot
Viking mascot high school parking lot
Mama prays daddy works a lot
Big brother caught smoking pot
Snap shot of a map dot

It's the high life sipping from a Miller can
It's the highlight reel for the working man
It's the home sweet home you were trying to leave
But you come right back 'cause your roots run deep
It's a sure life, yeah this is my life
It's the four wheel Ford giving
Trying to get it right living
Ain't nothing missing
Damn right I'm living in the high life

Yeah that rumor mill never shuts down
And them blue jean girls just grow right out of the ground
'Round here, that's right
See you at the game on Friday night

It's the high life sipping from a Miller can
It's the highlight reel for the working man
It's the home sweet home you were trying to leave
But you come right back 'cause your roots run deep
It's a sure life, yeah this is my life
It's the four wheel Ford giving
Trying to get it right living
Ain't nothing missing
Damn right I'm living in the high life

This is your life, yeah this is my life
So crank it on up, play it all night
'Cause everybody loves a song about

It's the high life sipping from a Miller can
It's the highlight reel for the working man
It's the home sweet home you were trying to leave
But you come right back 'cause your roots run deep
It's a sure life, yeah this is my life
It's the four wheel Ford giving
Trying to get it right living
Ain't nothing missing
Damn right I'm living in the high life, yeah

It's a two lane town one blink and it's gone
With a Norman Rockafeller water tower painted on
