My Neck of the Woods
Lyrics
Dually kickin' up dust on a one lane road
Joe Diffie tunes hummin' out the radio
And the night so young as we are right now
Sittin' frozen in time on the edge of town
The water tower says the same thing
John Deere Green with the same names
A little faded but it still looks good
In my neck of the woods, neck of the woods
My neck of the woods (my neck of the woods)
In my neck of the woods
There's stop signs that I ran through like Richard Petty at Daytona
Black marks where I slammed the brakes
Where that blacktop first had meat on it
Doing seventy-five in a thirty-five
With a spray-painted "3" off on the side
Jamming out to that cassette tape, yellin', "country boys, we can survive"
We all wanted to be Duke boys lookin' for a Jeep with Daisy in it
Barefoot bandit since day one, plenty underpasses with a past in it
Them rope swings ain't been used in ten years and that's no lie
But that swimmin' hole still look ice cold and this place ain't aged a day in time
Dually kickin' up dust on a one lane road
Joe Diffie tunes hummin' out the radio
And the night so young as we are right now
Sittin' frozen in time on the edge of town
The water tower says the same thing
John Deere Green with the same names
A little faded but it still looks good
In my neck of the woods, neck of the woods
My neck of the woods (my neck of the woods)
In my neck of the woods
If I die, you can see the artwork on my skin that tells the life I lived
See the marks I left through all these songs I wrote when I was a kid
And look back at the pictures of these sold out shows across the states
When I put these boots up yeah I've danced across a couple dusty stages
And I look back at the town and play a record from like thirty back
Play "Rolling Stoned" a couple times and still roll up a joint so fat
I'll be rockin' and rollin' in a rocking chair made of wood
Lookin' at the water tower road with the hill right by the sun come
Dually kickin' up dust on a one lane road
Joe Diffie tunes hummin' out the radio
And the night so young as we are right now
Sittin' frozen in time on the edge of town
The water tower says the same thing
John Deere Green with the same names
A little faded but it still looks good
In my neck of the woods, neck of the woods
My neck of the woods (my neck of the woods)
In my neck of the woods
My neck of the woods, my end of the road
That football field that we practiced on
Had that parking lot hoppin' on a Friday night at Sonic
'Til the neon lights were down and a field party started
In my neck of the woods
In my neck of the woods
In my neck of the woods
My neck of the woods (my neck of the woods)
