Even when the fish ain't bitin'
It's still a hell of a view
Even when it's thunderin' and lightnin'
It's amazing what the sky can do

There's static on the speakers of dad's old truck
The station's just about outta range out here
But I can hear it clear enough
Thank God for goosebumps

I guess some songs have gotta be sad ones
I miss my dad but at least I had one
Mama's lonely but she's doing better than we thought she would
I used to wish life was forever
Somehow knowing it ain't makes it better
And even when it ain't so good
It's still pretty good

Some days my job is a mother
But the kids still got food in their mouths
Might oughta call up my brother
Tell him that I miss hanging out

Got a little gray showing up in my beard
But I still feel like a kid when I come round here and drive around
Heaven's my home but this is my hometown

I guess some songs have gotta be sad ones
I miss my dad but at least I had one
Mama's lonely but she's doing better than we thought she would
I used to wish life was forever
Somehow knowing it ain't makes it better
And even when it ain't so good
It's still pretty good

I guess some songs have gotta be sad ones

Mama's lonely but she's doing better than we thought she would
I used to wish life was forever
Somehow knowing it ain't makes it better
And even when it ain't so good
It's still pretty good

And even when it ain't so good
It's still pretty good
