Don't Blink Town

(album: Dirt Road Revival - 2021)

I'm from a don't blink or you'll miss it
One red light kinda place
Tucked back in the hills
Full of cattlefields
Oh yeah, there's dust on rust on the trucks
On every road around
There's bucks mallard ducks, turkey and a large mouth
Living in a don't blink town

Everybody knows what everybody's doing here (yeah)
We live through a lot but not in fear (nope)
We give what we got if we got it to give (oh)
Rain makes crops and crops feed kids (yeah)
Works at daylight, swap shops at noon (noon)
Then it's quitting time, beer o'clock's coming too (too)
So hug the family (oh)
Embrace the fantasy (yeah)
That you ain't go to get right back at it again soon (whoo)
Then comes Saturday, we know how to play (yeah)
If we ain't off in the woods (woods)
We're out on the lake (lake)
But it ain't an escape, it's the way we are raised (raised)
That's where you go to get lost
That's where I go to be saved
When Sunday breaks day we get up a tad late
Some head to church, some got a headache
But when that day's through
Next week it's the same thing
Just living life our way

I'm from a don't blink or you'll miss it
One red light kinda place
Tucked back in the hills
Full of cattlefields
Oh yeah, there's dust on rust on the trucks
On every road around
There's bucks mallard ducks, turkey and a large mouth
Living in a don't blink town

I've never been into impressing the masses
Riding in a truck most folks call a classic
Four hundred thousand miles on the dash
And it's hell on gas
But the name on the title ain't dads (ow)
I believe in hardwork (yup)
Still eating yardbird
Fried up and served with taters no hors d'oeuvres
Been pour as dirt (dirt)
And paid in full
I never change, they don't teach class in school
Raised up on hand me downs
Put a hem in 'em don't just throw 'em out
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
Know what I'm talking 'bout
The world could use a few more don't blink towns
So when you drive by, stop and say, hi
Shop and save my family's way of life
Cuz amazon ain't gonna sponsor the high school
Shop local
See y'all soon

I'm from a don't blink or you'll miss it
One red light kinda place
Tucked back in the hills
Full of cattlefields
Oh yeah, there's dust on rust on the trucks
On every road around
There's bucks mallard ducks, turkey and a large mouth
Living in a don't blink town
