My Life Lyrics

In the corner stands my old guitar

I can't play it too well but I try real hard

A little bit of practice goes little bitty far

My days are filled with work and family

There's my wife oh what a fine mess

When I'm without her I couldn't laugh less

Forever givin' me all of her best

Love so pure and simple needs no legalese

One time I lived in a one-hole shack

And if I never had to I'd never go back

But if I did I still wouldn't crack

I see now what the Lord had planned for me

I wouldn't trade my life for nothin'

I'll even take my strife's and strugglin's

Got blessings by the bushels and the dozens

I even want to keep my cousins

I wouldn't trade my life for nothin'

The children, the house, the kissin's and the huggin's

We're way down South just a livin' and a lovin'

It's all a man could ever want or need

There was a time when I was always lit

When the lights went out that's when I had to quit

If it's prison you want then it's chains you will get

Life ain't easy but it's better when your free

Woke up one morning with the middle age shakes

Thought I dreamed real thing but it turned out fake

Really had no reason to be cold or afraid

What haunts me is the part I can't retrieve

Some of the family well they're gone for good

If I could bring 'em back well you know that I would

But God's gonna do what only God should

And that's always gonna be alright by me

I wouldn't trade my life for nothin'

I'll even take my strife's and strugglin's

Got blessings by the bushels and the dozens

I even want to keep my cousins

I wouldn't trade my life for nothin'

The children, the house, the kissin's and the huggin's

We're way down South just a livin' and a lovin'

It's all a man could ever want or need

Gonna go to that corner grab my old guitar

I might not write it well but I'll write it from the heart

Might not be a hit might not go very far

At least I'll get to sing this melody

I wouldn't trade my life for nothin'

I'll even take my strife's and strugglin's

Got blessings by the bushels and the dozens

I even want most of my cousins

I wouldn't trade my life for nothin'

The children, the house, the kissin's and the huggin's

We're way down South just a livin' and a lovin'

It's all a man could ever want or need

Yeah, we're way down South just a livin' and a lovin'

It's all a man could ever want or need
