It was pack the trunk
It was make the drive
It was leave that little town behind
Damn if I didn't leave it in the dust
It was play the game
It was play the show
It was get a song on the radio
I did it all, but damn, still ain't enough

But what do you know? My daddy was right
Said, "When it comes to what you want in this life
It's okay to have a good long list
Long as the top looks a little like this"

Put family first but still put the work in
Live them words in the Sunday sermon
See a half-full glass of bourbon
And make time to go back home
Do what you love, love what you're doin'
If you say "I do, " hell, don't undo it
Half good friend, even better human
Written on that headstone
Good Lord knows I ain't there yet
But damn if that ain't the goal
(Damn if that ain't the goal)

It took wakin' up in a quarter-life crisis
To figure out what the point of life is
It ain't puttin' more notches on the belt
I'm still chasin' down some new horizons
Nothin' wrong with left foot drivin'
But the best things in life don't shine up on a shelf
So if I do nothin' else

I put family first but still put the work in
Live them words in the Sunday sermon
See a half-full glass of bourbon
And make time to go back home
Do what you love, love what you're doin'
If you say "I do, " hell, don't undo it
Half good friend, even better human
Written on that headstone
Good Lord knows I ain't there yet
But damn if that ain't the goal
Damn if that ain't the goal

I'm gettin' better at gettin' older
If I could talk to twenty-three me, yeah
I would've told her

Put family first but still put the work in
Live them words in the Sunday sermon
See a half-full glass of bourbon
And make time to go back home
Do what you love, love what you're doin'
If you say "I do, " hell, don't undo it
Half good friend, even better human
Written on that headstone
Good Lord knows I ain't there yet
But damn if that ain't the goal
