VS1
Have you ever caught a tad pole
In a sparkling creek
Spent the whole day running
With grass-stained feet
Picked a handful of daisies
From the side of the road
Have you ever kissed your granny
Good morning, good night
Watch a blanket of fog
Cover everything in sight
Heard the pine trees whisper
As the winter wind blows
Pre-Chorus
Those of us who live here
Know it’s more than just luck
We’re the kind of simple folks
With a whole lot of love and a pickup truck
CH
Just Like sugar is sweet
And honey is too
A spoonful of country
Makes the big sky blue
Those who live
Down on a country dirt road
Know the dust flies higher
The faster you go
And the faster that time passes by
Makes me thankful for how momma raised us
On sweet tea and Jesus
VERSE 2
Have you stepped inside the church
where you went as a kid
And the carpet and the pews
looked like they always did
And it brought back feelings of love and family
Pre-Chorus 2
And the river still flows
where you were baptized
Where your soul was uplifted
To the heights where the eagles fly
CH
Just Like sugar is sweet
And honey is too
A spoonful of country
Makes the big sky blue
Those who live
Down on a country dirt road
Know the dust flies higher
The faster you go
And the faster that time passes by
Makes me thankful for how momma raised us
On sweet tea and Jesus
Makes me thankful for how momma raised us
On sweet tea and Jesus
