Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Started on a gravel road
Hand-me-down cap
Hand-me-down clothes
Mama in the kitchen
Radio low
I learned every line like a prayer
Summer with the windows down
Singing like the stars were my crowd
Never knew that small-town sound
Would follow me everywhere
[Chorus]
My life is a song
Based on a true story
Every scar
Every scar
Every little piece of glory
From the first slow dance
To the last chance bar at forty
Yeah the hook and the hurt
They belong to me
Every verse in this dirt
Every memory
My life is a song
Based on a true story
[Verse 2]
First love in a rusted Ford
She left town
I hit the floor
Played that heartbreak track 'til the tape got torn
Thought the world was ending there
Then a stage at the county fair
Three drunk friends and folding chairs
We stole some lines from the hits out there
But the cracks were mine to bare
[Chorus]
My life is a song
Based on a true story
Every scar
Every scar
Every little piece of glory
From the first slow dance
To the last chance bar at forty
Yeah the hook and the hurt
They belong to me
Every verse in this dirt
Every memory
My life is a song
Based on a true story
[Bridge]
Some nights I’m a heartbreak hymn
Some nights I’m a backroad grin (oh yeah)
From the kitchen radio hum
To the lights when the crowd sings along
If you hear yourself in my rhyme
It’s 'cause we’ve been living the same old lines
Different towns
Same frame of mind
Been playing this tune all along
[Chorus]
My life is a song
Based on a true story
Every scar
Every scar
Every little piece of glory
From the first slow dance
To the last chance bar at forty
Yeah the hook and the hurt
They belong to me
Every verse in this dirt
Every memory
My life is a song
Based on a true story
[Outro]
Turn it up and sing along
Yeah your life’s a true story song
