Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One more tall pour
Don't know what for
'Cause it ain't
Doing nothing 'bout your memory
[Verse 2]
Hat low, boots on
I love this song
But tonight
It's hitting a little bit differently
[PreChorus]
Hank's singing 'bout how to get by
Everything but 5 foot 3, blue eyes
[Chorus]
Push the city limits to the sticks
Close the honky-tonks down at 5
I could still drink and I could still fish
Get on with my backwoods way of life
Now I ain't saying Bocephus lied
But ever since you said goodbye
I think I found the one thing
A country boy can't survive
[Verse 3]
I can fix up a broke truck
But this time, I'm stuck
Somewhere between can't go home
And I can't stay here
Last thing I wanna hear is
[PreChorus]
Hank singing 'bout how to get through
Everything but me standing there in your rearview
[Chorus]
Push the city limits to the sticks
Close the honky-tonks down at 5
I could still drink and I could still fish
Get on with my backwoods way of life
Now I ain't saying Bocephus lied
But ever since you said goodbye
I think I found the one thing
A country boy can't survive
[Bridge]
A girl like that gettin' gone
The kinda hurt you can't rub dirt on
It ain't enough
Thought I was tough, but I ain't that strong, no
[Chorus]
Yeah, they can push the city limits to the sticks
Close the honky-tonks down at 5
I could still drink and I could still fish
Get on with my backwoods way of life
Now I ain't saying Bocephus lied
But ever since you said goodbye
I think I found the one thing
A country boy can't survive
[Outro]
Yeah, I think I found the one thing
A country boy can't survive
