Maryland Life

I was raised on the Bible

Gave thanks for the water

And the rain coming down at my house

They knew we were from Riva

By the way we did our drinking

And the way we pray to Jesus

I was raised on the river

Swim a mile quicker

Than you'd get me runnin one

I prefer the hot sun to the Maine weather

Didn't know any better

And I'm trying to remember now

'Cause this is Maryland life

For me and my kind

I could tie every line and I learned how to drive on a boat

Before I hit the road

I was trying to stay between the red and green poles

It was Friday night lights and

Sunday night drives

When the leaves fell and it got cold

Rain turned to snow

Then we start counting down days

We could get back on a damn boat

They said Pastrana moved out to Severna

When he heard they were building more homes

They put a traffic light up now I always get stuck

Tryna get out of my own road

It's got me thinking that it's time to move

Where the hell would I go to

I feel the concrete creepin

If you're up there Jesus

Won't you send them yuppies back to DC

'Cause this is Maryland life

For me and my kind

I could tie every line and I learned how to drive on a boat

Before I hit the road

I was trying to stay between the red and green poles

It was Friday night lights and

Sunday night drives

When the leaves fell and it got cold

Rain turned to snow

Then we started counting down days

We could get back on the damn boat

I hope that me and my wife will get

Married at the Hyatt down in Cambridge

I hope we ride off in the sunset to the old Choptank Bridge

I hope this Maryland life never changes

'Cause this is Maryland life

For me and my kind

I could tie every line and I learned how to drive on a boat

Before I hit the road

I was trying to stay between the red and green poles

It was Friday night lights and

Sunday night drives

When the leaves fell and it got cold

Rain turned to snow

Then we start counting down days

We could get back on the damn boat
