[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks

[Bridge]
Well, I wouldn't be who I am today
If it wasn't for a short bed Chevrolet

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks
