[Verse 1]

Why would any teenage boy cut grass?

Sweat all summer, savin' cash

Dream about turnin' heads downtown

Straight pipes on a hand-me-down

And how would anybody's daddy get around

To mend the fences and feed the cows?

Where the hell would a small town girl climb up

If it wasn't for trucks?

[Chorus]

And where would I have raised all that hell?

And talked to God all by myself

How would I have got to Tennessee

Without a bucket seat?

Where was I supposed to cry

That July day Granddaddy died?

Or haul that deer, drink that beer

Fell in and out of love

If it wasn't for trucks

[Verse 2]

Where would I've first heard Merle?

Got the nerve to kiss a green eyed girl?

Where would old dogs ride?

And where would life fly by?

[Chorus]

And where would I have raised all that hell?

And talked to God all by myself

How would I have got to Tennessee

Without a bucket seat?

Where was I supposed to cry

That July day Granddaddy died?

Or haul that deer, drink that beer

And fell in and out of love

If it wasn't for trucks

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks

[Bridge]

Well, I wouldn't be who I am today

If it wasn't for a short bed Chevrolet

[Chorus]

And where would I have raised all that hell?

And talked to God all by myself

How would I have got to Tennessee

And where would I be?

Where was I supposed to cry

That July day Granddaddy died?

Or haul that deer, drink that beer

And fell in and out of love

If it wasn't for trucks

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks
