If Daddy Didn't Have a Truck

I'da never known that working hard

Ain't what makes you rich

And hitting your knees or a low gear

Is how you get out of a ditch

If I didn't grow up in a small town

Right there in between

An old square body Z-71

And John 3:16

I'da never known Jesus loves me

Fell in love with kicking up dirt

I'da never known how forgiveness or a carburetor works

Only the good Lord knows how a good ol' boy like me mighta wound up

If Mama didn't have a Bible

And Daddy didn't have a truck

I'da never known the Goodyears

Were more than just four tires

And beer don't mix with gasoline

The Devil is a liar

And you can hide your sins in a glovebox

But you can't hide 'em from You-Know-Who

There's a reason why that windshield

Is bigger than the rearview

I'da never known Jesus loves me

Fell in love with kicking up dirt

I'da never known how forgiveness or a carburetor works

Only the good Lord knows how a good ol' boy like me mighta wound up

If Mama didn't have a Bible

And Daddy didn't have a truck

I'da never bench-seat kissed you

Alan Jackson on the radio dial

I'da never known you were heaven-sent

When you walked down that aisle

I'da never known Jesus loves me

Or fell in love with kicking up dirt

I'da never known how forgiveness or a carburetor works

Only the good Lord knows how a good ol' boy like me mighta wound up

If Mama didn't have a Bible

And Daddy didn't have a truck

Oh, if Mama didn't have a Bible

And Daddy didn't have a truck

If Daddy didn't have a truck
