This country ballad is a nostalgic trip down memory lane, where the currency of love and family outweighs material wealth. The song paints a vivid picture of an idyllic childhood, filled with simple pleasures like Tonka trucks, Sunday chicken dinners, and Don Williams on the radio. Despite their humble living conditions, they were rich in love and unity. As our singer ventures into adulthood, he realizes that the pursuit of money and success has led him away from these cherished memories. He yearns for those simpler times when happiness wasn't measured by possessions but by the dirt on his father's clothes or a barking dog in the yard. This tune is a poignant reminder that sometimes having it all means not having much at all!
We Didn't Have Much
Lyrics
Tonka trucks and G.I. Joes
Jumping those hills with Luke and Bo
Plastic cap guns and a swimming hole
Don't get no dirt on your church clothes
Win or lose, we cheer for the Braves
Ten percent in the offering plate
Sunday chicken and a NASCAR race
Sure'd be nice to get back to that place
There was dirt on daddy's clothes
From putting that bacon on mama's stove
Dog barking in the yard at a truck we don't know
All we had was us
And had a little bitty house and a lotta love
We had it all when we didn't have much
Eighteen, left it all behind
Chasing a girl, chasing a dime
Went so far tryna get mine
I can't see that old porch light
That led me home at night
There was dirt on daddy's clothes
From putting that bacon on mama's stove
Dog barking in the yard at a truck we don't know
All we had was us
And had a little bitty house and a lotta love
We had it all when we didn't have much
When we didn't have much
I can still hear grandma readin'
That red letter Book of John
I can still smell coffee in the kitchen
Ol' Don Williams on
And there was dirt on daddy's clothes
From putting that bacon on mama's stove
Dog barking in the yard at a truck we don't know
All we had was us
We had a little bitty house and a lotta love
We had it all when we didn't have much
Had it all when we didn't have much
Little bitty house and a lotta love
We had it all when we didn't have much
