You can see the backwoods through the front door
You can smell the pine rising from the floor
Didn't know what we were living for
Couldn't wait to get out the door
Living in the backwoods
That dog on the porch he don't hunt no more
Doesn't have the get up and go he had before
That old Ford seen better days
Used to get me to work every day
Down the road
And a little more
Now that truck is rusting in the shade
But it lasted longer than what they make these days
And we never threw anything away
Living in the backwoods
And our water is better than any city fountain
Clean and pure from the spring
Straight through the mountain
Need something to eat
Go down to the creek
Catch a little fish
You put it on a dish
It's a treat
So delish
And we didn't know what we were living for
Couldn't wait to get out that door
Hell we didn't even know we were poor
Living in the backwoods
Said hey, what you doing there Joe
Saturday night
Feeling alright
Kissing my girl under the moon all night
Alright
My friend Joe
Little bit high
Got that lost look in his eye in the fire light
Quite a sight
And we didn't know what we were living for
But when life was good we couldn't ask for more
Living in the backwoods
And we didn't know what we were living for
Couldn't wait to get out that damn door
Didn't know anything for sure
Living in the backwoods
We didn't know we had it so good
Living in the backwoods
In the backwoods
In the backwoods
In the backwoods
In the backwoods
Woo hoo
