Lyrics Chase Rice – You Ain’t Livin’ Yet
Text:
He said, «Boy you ever been outside of this town?
Ever thought about gettin’ out to the west coast?
Or down to Mexico?»
I said, «No.»
And the Northern Lights
And how they dance at night
And how I’m missin’ out on life.
He said, «You ain’t livin’ yet.»
That’s when I said,
«If you’ve never snuck a kiss in a hayloft,
Drove your pickup truck with your shirt off,
Or let the rooster crow be your alarm clock,
Then you ain’t livin’ yet.
You’ve never thrown a line out from a jon boat,
Got a little sideways on a dirt road,
A little choked up on a Marlboro,
Then you ain’t livin’ yet.
Nah, you ain’t livin’ yet.»
I popped the hood on his Cadillac
And checked the oil
While he just laughed and said, «You’re right,
I’ve never tried anything like that before.»
And I said,
«I can tell by the Mardi Gras beads
And the stack of road maps in your back seat
You’ve been everywhere,
But man I swear
This place is different than anywhere.»
I told him, «You ain’t livin’ yet,
You ever put a buckshot through a stop sign?
Felt the burn from your first sip of moonshine?
Revved your engine up at a red light?
Then you ain’t livin’ yet.
You ever thrown your voice out at a tractor pull?
Seen a hot girl ride a mechanical bull?
Poured your heart out on a bar stool?
Then you ain’t livin’ yet.»
He said, «Son, you’ve got me thinkin’,
Thinkin’ I might just stick around.
By the way you talk, there’s a world I’ve never seen inside of this town.
Should let me take a look around
And trade this Cadillac for a step side,
Grab an RC Cola and Moonpie
And just soak up this country life,
‘Cause I ain’t livin’ yet
You’re right man when you said
That you ain’t livin’ yet.
‘Cause I ain’t livin’ yet.»
Nah, you ain’t livin’ yet.
