Grew up where the map gets quiet,
Just a dot past a two-lane curve.
Folks work hard, pray harder,
And say “yes sir” and “yes ma’am” first.
Never thought I’d get much farther
Than that old county line,
But somehow life’s been better
Than anything I planned in my mind.
(Chorus)
Ain’t sure how a guy like me
Ended up with luck like mine.
Small-town kid with dusty boots
And a woman by my side.
A roof that don’t leak when the storms roll in
And buddies who’ll show up every time.
Yeah, I don’t know what I did to earn it,
But I’m thankful every night—
’Cause there ain’t many boys from a small-town road
With luck quite like mine.
(Verse 2)
Most folks I know stay grounded—
Same barstool, same Friday nights.
Dreamin’ big but thinkin’ small
’Cause that’s just how you’re raised to live life.
But I caught a wind of good fortune,
Guess the timing turned out right.
Now looking back on where I come from
Makes these blessings shine twice as bright.
(Chorus)
Ain’t sure how a guy like me
Ended up with luck like mine.
Small-town kid with dusty boots
And a woman by my side.
A roof that don’t leak when the storms roll in
And buddies who’ll show up every time.
Yeah, I don’t know what I did to earn it,
But I’m thankful every night—
’Cause there ain’t many boys from a small-town road
With luck quite like mine.
(Bridge)
Maybe it’s the dirt road lessons,
Or the prayers my mama prayed.
Maybe it’s the ones I lost
That guide me from day to day.
But either way I count my blessings
More than dollars, more than dimes—
Lord knows I never thought I’d have
A life this good to call mine.
(Final Chorus)
Ain’t sure how a guy like me
Ended up with luck like mine.
Born and raised on a small-town map
But I’m livin’ a damn good life.
A roof that don’t leak when the storms roll in
And a woman who loves me right.
Yeah, I don’t know what I did to earn it,
But I thank the stars each night—
’Cause there ain’t many boys from a small-town road
With luck quite like mine.
