This dirt has my skin on it

and these rocks have my blood on them

These big tall trees

as tall as the eye can see

have my hammered nails on them

from back when I was a kid



And all the cops in this one horse town they know my first name

They'd know the truck I drive

They know I'm not here to stay



Chorus:             

So get ready I'm tying one on

I'm living a country song

I got my work clothes on

I aint goin down till the sun comes up

A bottle of whiskey on my old stompin ground

Brings me around to the old familiar faces I need 

To recharge my battery



VERSE 2:

And these rivers

I have swam them

And these backroads

I own them



Like the back of my head

Like my Granddaddy said

This roads going straight to hell

Like a snowball straight to hell



And all the cops in this one horse town they know me by my first name

They'd know the truck I drive

They know I'm not here to stay



Chorus #2:           

So get ready I'm tying one on

I'm living a country song

I got my work clothes on

I aint goin down till the sun comes up

A bottle of whiskey on my old stompin ground

Brings me around to the old familiar places I need 

To recharge my battery



Repeat Chorus #2

    

To recharge my battery

To recharge my battery
