I was raised off of Rural Route 3
Out past where the blacktop ends
We'd walk to church on Sunday morning
Race barefoot back to Johnson's fence
That's where I first saw Mary
On that roadside picking blackberries
That summer I turned a corner
(road) It's where I drank my first beer
Where I wrecked my first car
I learned the path to heaven
Is full of sinners and believers
Learned that happiness on earth
Ain't just for high achievers
There's life at both ends
(road) It's where I drank my first beer
Where I wrecked my first car
I learned the path to heaven
Is full of sinners and believers
Learned that happiness on earth
Ain't just for high achievers
There's life at both ends
It's where I drank my first beer
Where I wrecked my first car
I learned the path to heaven
Is full of sinners and believers
Learned that happiness on earth
Ain't just for high achievers
There's life at both ends
