Why would any teenage boy cut grass?

Sweat all summer, savin' cash

Dream about turnin' heads downtown

Straight pipes on a hand-me-down

And how would anybody's daddy get around

To mend the fences and feed the cows?

Where the hell would a small town girl climb up

If it wasn't for trucks?

And where would I have raised all that hell?

And talked to God all by myself

How would I have got to Tennessee

Without a bucket seat?

Where was I supposed to cry

That July day Granddaddy died?

Or haul that deer, drink that beer

Fell in and out of love

If it wasn't for trucks

Where would I've first heard Merle?

Got the nerve to kiss a green eyed girl?

Where would old dogs ride?

And where would life fly by?

And where would I have raised all that hell?

And talked to God all by myself

How would I have got to Tennessee

Without a bucket seat?

Where was I supposed to cry

That July day Granddaddy died?

Or haul that deer, drink that beer

And fell in and out of love

If it wasn't for trucks

Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks

Well, I wouldn't be who I am today

If it wasn't for a short bed Chevrolet

And where would I have raised all that hell?

And talked to God all by myself

How would I have got to Tennessee

And where would I be?

Where was I supposed to cry

That July day Granddaddy died?

Or haul that deer, drink that beer

And fell in and out of love

If it wasn't for trucks

Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks
