Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I work for the city in the town where I grew up
Some days I run a backhoe, some days I run a dump
If I had other plans on my graduation day
Several years ago, I guess I hauled 'em all away
Yeah, I hauled 'em all away
[Verse 2]
She told me she was pregnant on the day I turned eighteen
I did what you're supposed to do, I bought her a ring
He didn't have to ask us, but he asked us anyway
We stood up, said, "I do", what else were we gonna say?
What else were we gonna say?
[Chorus]
Well, I'm thankful for the things I have and all the things I don't
And I got dreams that will come true, I got some that won't
Most the time, I just walk the line, wherever it goes
'Cause you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope
[Verse 3]
My boss man is the mayor, I do just what he asks
Mow the courthouse lawn, watch the prisoners walkin' past
I'm happy to be working instead of wearin' chains
Like my cousin William, he's locked up in LaGrange
He's locked up in LaGrange
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm thankful for the things I have and all the things I don't
And I got dreams that will come true, I got some that won't
Most the time, I just walk the line, wherever it goes
'Cause you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope
[Outro]
There's a tavern down the highway, go to drink some beer
Wash down all I'm missin', hangin' 'round here
And drive back to the trailer and make up with my wife
And kiss my sleeping children, and I get on with my life
Yeah, I get on with my life
Yeah, I get on with my life
