Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Moved to a new town
Didn't make a penny for the better part of two-plus years
Got through somehow, losin' till winnin'
And I ended up standin' here
Wake up one day, look back, can't say
You knew it when you started out
Me and my lady love ridin' in my old truck
Got me to the here and now
[Verse 2]
The key to life ain't openin' a lock to a bag full of money (Bag full of money)
The key to life ain't under the mat to some green grass sunny (Out in the country)
It's the simple things like you and me
Eastbound Down, no place to be
Just drivin' around
Turnin' that key to life
[Verse 3]
It ain't all worked out, but everything will be all right
Just livin' that dream and turnin' that key to life
[Verse 4]
It's lemon in your ice tea, homemade ice cream
Colder beer and closer friends
It's a good back porch and a 4x4
In a summer that's slow to end
It's Amazing Grace when you think it ain't coming and you're wrong
It's a second wind when you thought that breeze was gone
C'mon
[Verse 5]
The key to life ain't openin' a lock to a bag full of money (Bag full of money)
The key to life ain't under the mat to some green grass sunny (Out in the country)
It's the simple things like you and me
Eastbound Down, no place to be
Just drivin' around
Turnin' that key to life
[Verse 6]
Yeah, we drink too much, but everything will be all right
Just livin' that dream and turnin' that key to life (Key to life)
[Verse 7]
Some doors swing wide open, some stay forever closed
I may not know it all
One thing I know is
[Verse 8]
The key to life ain't openin' a lock to a bag full of money (Bag full of money)
The key to life ain't under the mat to some green grass sunny (Out in the country)
It's the simple things like you and me
Eastbound Down, no place to be
Just drivin' around
Turnin' that key to life
[Verse 9]
It ain't all worked out, but everything will be all right
Just livin' that dream and turnin' that key to life
