Woke up in a hotel room
Went lookin for something to do
Whole place shut down, but I'm wide open
I Packed up in a minute flat
Tell the county I'm comin back
To haunt all those hills I grew up rollin
Take it or leave it, it is what it is
They call me the hometown kid since I've been around
Since I've been around
When dad sold me his ol' 98
John Prine sticker on the tailgate
Said he didn't have the heart to put her down
Take care of her she'll take care of you
Son That's all that we gotta do
To keep all 4 wheels on the ground
Take it or leave it, there's no better advice
I have left to give you now, since I've been around
Oh since I've been around
There's an old stone wall by the edge of town
Keeps high water out of holy ground
It ain't no levee but it's seen it share of rain
Everyday gone by it's stood before
Peace parades and civil wars
All in all more of the same
Take it or leave it, you can't erase
What that bed of rock would say, since I've been around
Since I been around
Since I been around
Woke up in a hotel room
Went lookin' for something to do
Whole place shut down, but I'm wide open
