Different Now

We were Nascar winners

Could barely reach them pedals

Racin' down them backroads kids

Big dreams and White Owls

Chasin' down a good time

And everyone would come and celebrate their kin

We reach out and turn on that radio

A country song playin' was our only hope

Ain't it funny how lookin' back now

We used to crank that music up loud

They just hit a little different, same ol' songs

Lyrics had us dreamin' 'bout the day, we'd long

To get away from that nowhere town

Now they got us still wishin' we were still hangin' 'round

That red dirt road, John Deere green

Check yes or no had a different meanin'

Way back then, but today when I hear them sounds

They just hit a little different now

I could turn it in and turn up that radio

That daddy had I'd listen on that livin' room floor

It don't matter songs plays, good times or heartbreak

I still get carried away

They just hit a little different, same ol' songs

Lyrics had us dreamin' 'bout the day we'd long

To get away from that nowhere town

Now they got us still wishin' we were still hangin' 'round

That red dirt road, John Deere green

Check yes or no had a different meanin'

Way back then, but today when I hear them sounds

They just hit a little different now

Not too much has changed

Just some years and some last names

A few of us found fortune and fame

But every time those melodies turn on a memory

It takes me to another place

They just hit a little different, same ol' songs

Lyrics had us dreamin' 'bout the day we'd long

To get away from that nowhere town

Now they got us still wishin' we were still hangin' 'round

Where the green grass grows, strawberry wine

I'm still out here livin' on Tulsa time

Like way back then, but today when I hear them sounds

They just hit a little different now

They just hit a little different now
