Key to Life

Moved to a new town, didn’t make a penny
For the better part of two plus years
Got through somehow, losing to winning
And I ended up standing here
Wake up one day, look back
Can’t say knew it when you started out
Me and my lady luck riding in my old truck
Got me to the here and now
The key to life ain’t opening the lock
To a bag full of money (a bag full of money)
The key to life ain’t under the mat
To some greener grass sunny (out in the country)
It’s the simple things like you and me
East-bound down no place to be
Just driving around, turning that key to life
It ain’t all worked out but everything’ll be alright
I’m just living that dream, yeah, turning that key to life
Yeah, it’s something in your ice tea, homemade ice cream
Colder beer and closer friends
It’s a good back porch and a four by four
And a summer that’s slow to end
It’s Amazing Grace when you think it ain’t coming along
It’s a second wind when you thought that breeze was gone, come on
The key to life ain’t opening the lock
To a bag full of money (a bag full of money)
The key to life ain’t under the mat
To some greener grass sunny (out in the country)
It’s the simple things like you and me
East-bound down no place to be
Just driving around, turning that key to life
Yeah, we drink too much but everything’ll be alright
Just living that dream, yeah, turning that key to life
Some doors swing wide open, some stay forever closed
I may not know it all, but one thing I know is
The key to life ain’t opening the lock
To a bag full of money (a bag full of money)
The key to life ain’t under the mat
To some greener grass sunny (out in the country)
It’s the simple things like you and me
East-bound down no place to be
Just driving around, turning that key to life
It ain’t all worked out but everything’ll be alright
Just living that dream, yeah, turning that key to life
