Take me down where the beer is cold
The fish get fried and the fireflies glow
Roll me down an old out-of-town road
Show me where the river runs
I need a break from the loud and the mad
And the fast interstates and a big town
I'm just a down-homesick, tryna-make-a-buck boy
Lookin' for a little slow down
Need to trade a skyscraper for a silo
Couple stoplights, only three or four 5-0
Need to hear a little, "Ma'am" after, "No"
And pump before you pay at the Texaco
Take me down where the beer is cold
The fish get fried and the fireflies glow
Roll me down an old out-of-town road
Show me where the river runs
Somewhere the dirt'll stain your boot soles
Red like the words I was raised up on
Back porch at night, singin' with the crickets
That kinda life is my kinda livin', yeah
Yeah, that kinda life is my kinda livin'
Yeah, that kinda life is my kinda livin'
Yeah, I've been throwin' windshield waves
At strangers in the other lane, but they never wave back
It's all, "Y'all" and, "Yonder" rollin' off my lips
I need a trip where people still say that
Less busy, more laid back
Take me down where the beer is cold
The fish get fried and the fireflies glow
Roll me down an old out-of-town road
Show me where the river runs
Somewhere the dirt'll stain your boot soles
Red like the words I was raised up on
Mason jar lightning, cast-iron skillets
That kinda life is my kinda livin'
Yeah, that kinda life is my kinda livin'
Yeah, that kinda life is my kinda livin'
If I ain't built a house on a hill out there
By the time I take my last breath
Put me in a pine box, say a little prayer
And fulfill my last request (take me down)
Take me down where the beer is cold
The fish get fried and the fireflies glow (where the fireflies glow)
Roll me down an old out-of-town road
Show me where the river runs (where the river runs)
Somewhere the dirt'll stain your boot soles
Red like the words I was raised up on
Leave my headstone with one thing written
That kinda life is my kinda livin', yeah
Yeah, that kinda life is my kinda livin'
Yeah, that kinda life is my kinda livin', mm
