I had a 1998 Wichita Jon boat sitting out in the barn
I had a too fast, two stroke Yahama dirt bike
Damn thing broke my arm
And when I sold 'em both
Well, it hurt just a little and man I sure know now
That there's things you can live with
And then there's things you can't live without

Like bacon frying in a skillet, and a cigar in my mouth
Mountain Dew in my refrigerator and kids running round the house
And me and her sitting with a big fire burning all snuggled up on the couch
Yeah, there's things you can live with and then there's things you can't live without

I got a momma and a daddy and the good Lord above me
Got my friends and my family
And I get two week's vacation evеry summer
At the smokies or thе white sand beach
My baby waking up on a pillow right beside me every morning's what it's all about
There's things that you can live with and then there's things you can't live without

Like bacon frying in a skillet and a cigar in my mouth
Mountain Dew in my refrigerator, kids running 'round the house
Yeah, me and her sitting with a good fire burning, all snuggled up on the couch
Yeah, there's things you can live with and there's things you can't live without

I got some boys up in West Virginia making that shine up in the hills
Yeah, they say if that stuff don't kill ya boy, then something else probably will
I got a fine-looking woman that wears my ring and spins every damn head around
Yeah, there's that you can live with and then there's things you can't live without
Yeah, like bacon frying in a skillet and a cigar in my mouth
Mountain Dew in my refrigerator and kids running round the house
Me and her sitting with a big fire burning all snuggled up on the couch
Yeah, there's things you can live with and then there's things you can't live without
Yes, there's things that you can live with and there's things you can't live without
