Down Here

Livin down here, where a truck ain't a 4 by 4 It's an 18 wheeler Carting them loads cross the Nullarbor Way down here, where the homeland's girt by sea We might not talk in miles, but the west is just as wild From the Kansas sun to the outback plains Maybe that country life is all the same I can't sing about Tennessee, and what it means to me I ain't ever in my life took a ride on the Mississippi But I can sing about open roads, a little Hank on the radio Working hard, getting paid, end the day with a shot of whiskey I guess it ain't that different Country living down here Workin' down here, the hands look a little worse for wear The land ain't drinking 'Til the rain starts falling in the Southern air Way on down here, everybody's got a tale to tell About the better days, when there was water in the well From the Texas sun to the flooding rains Maybe that country life is all the same I can't sing about Tennessee, and what it means to me I ain't ever in my life took a ride on the Mississippi But I can sing about open roads, a little Merle on the radio Working hard, getting paid, end the day with a shot of whiskey I guess it ain't that different Country living down here I can't sing about Tennessee, and what it means to me I ain't ever in my life took a ride on the Mississippi But I can sing about open roads, a bit a Chicks on the radio Working hard, getting paid, end the day with a shot of whiskey I guess it ain't that different Country living down here Man, who we kidding We all love an ice cold beer I guess it ain't that different Country living down here
