Embracing a life of simplicity and contentment, this song captures the essence of finding joy in modest circumstances. Despite external skepticism and economic hardships, the lyrics celebrate a fulfilling life marked by love, resilience, and gratitude. The recurring imagery of a picket fence, an old Ford truck, and a big blue sky symbolizes traditional values and the beauty in everyday moments. The mention of homemade wine and back porch dancing underscores the importance of cherishing small pleasures. By juxtaposing societal expectations with personal fulfillment, the song conveys that true happiness stems not from material wealth but from meaningful connections and experiences. This narrative is encapsulated in the refrain "Ain't we livin' the dream," which serves as both a rhetorical question and an affirmation of their chosen lifestyle. 🌟
Livin' the Dream
Lyrics
Everybody say we wouldn't make it baby
Love don't live around here much lately
Times are hard and hearts break like the bank,
Ah yes they do
Lots of reasons just to give it on up
Leave your soul on the shelf, collectin' dust
Livin' a world of broken promises and empty tanks
Oh but look at us
Look at us with a picket fence
Don't got a lot of money but we're making a dent
Old Ford truck with a dog in the back
Now ain't we livin' the dream
Big blue sky, green, green grass
Ain't doin' half bad for a half full glass
Kiss me baby yeah just like that now
Ain't we livin' a dream
Put on a little old Keith medley
Back porch dancin' singing with me
I'm no stranger to the rain, oh no he ain't
Pour a little bit of homemade wine
Make some love, take our sweet time
Why the hell do we complain
Look at us with a picket fence
Don't got a lot of money but we're making a dent
Old Ford truck with a dog in the back
Now ain't we livin' the dream
Big blue sky, green, green grass
Ain't doin' half bad for a half full glass
Kiss me baby yeah just like that now
Ain't we livin' a dream, oh yeah, oh baby
Ain't we livin' a dream
Look at us we got a life out here
Outlaws, in-laws, coolers of beer
A spot on the wall to hang last year's deer
Now ain't we livin' a dream
Red white and blue flag hangin'
Kids in the back, just a tire swangin'
Fireworks are boom and bangin'
Now ain't we livin' a dream
Look at us with a picket fence
Don't got a lot of money but we're making a dent
Old Ford truck with a dog in the back
Now ain't we livin' the dream
Big blue sky, green, green grass
Ain't doin' bad for a half full glass
Kiss me baby yeah just like that now
Ain't we livin' a dream
Oh oh, yeah
They said we'd never make it baby
Love don't live around here much lately
What do you think about that?
