I grew up in a small town, 10 minutes from the beach
Moved on up to Asheville, the year I turned thirteen
I walked the halls of Reynolds High, man I sure loved high school
And ended up in Chapel Hill wearing Carolina Blue

It’s the sunrise on another day over my hometown
It’s the smile there on my mama’s face cookin' dinner at the house
It's hearin' my song on the radio with my best friends in my truck
I ain’t rich, but I sure got enough, and it beats a million bucks

I still rock that gold belt buckle my dad got me sophomore year
I’ve got the world’s two greatest brothers and we can sure throw back some beers
I helped Jimmie win a couple rings on that old Lowe’s Cobalt Chevy
And grabbed my guitar and one big dream and moved on to music city

It’s the sunrise on another day over my hometown
It’s the smile there on my mama’s face cookin' dinner at the house
It's hearin' my song on the radio with my best friends in my truck
I ain’t rich, but I sure got enough, and it beats a million bucks

So here's to all my buddies and the ones I ain’t met yet
I don’t need a lot of money to make me a happy man
Some might call it crazy, some might call it luck
But I just call it my life and it beats a million bucks

It’s the sunrise on another day over my hometown
It’s the smile there on my mama’s face cookin' dinner at the house
It's hearin' my song on the radio with my best friends in my truck
I ain’t rich, but I sure got enough, and it beats a million bucks
Yeah it beats a million bucks
