Lacee Turner Dying To Live Like That
[1] It was a hot summer day…he was out in the yard…
Mowing his grass…tending his garden…
Way back in the country on a county road…
And through the sweat.. that was hanging across his eyes…
He saw a red Corvette….go blazing by…
Shut down his tractor…long enough to watch it go…
He saw the yacht and the girls…and a mansion on the hill
The parties and the people going dressed to kill
[CHO:] HE’S DYING TO LIVE LIKE THAT….
HE WAS GONE FOR A MINUTE BUT HE CAME BACK
HE JUMPED THAT FENCE IN HIS MIND..
O IT WAS SO SUBLIME…
AIN’T NONE OF US HAPPY WITH WHAT WE GOT…
OR WHERE WE’RE AT
WE’RE JUST DYING TO LIVE LIKE THAT…

[2] The guy in the car was in a suit and tie…
His windows rolled up…it was cool inside…
He saw the man on the tractor…out mowing his grass
For a minute there..he forgot all about
That business meeting he had in town
To size it all up…and eased off the gas…
He saw the kids and the dog…and the pretty wife
And the clean white laundry…hanging on the line
[CHO:] HE’S DYING TO LIVE LIKE THAT….
HE WAS GONE FOR A MINUTE BUT HE CAME BACK
HE JUMPED THAT FENCE IN HIS MIND..
O IT WAS SO SUBLIME…
AIN’T NONE OF US HAPPY WITH WHAT WE GOT…
OR WHERE WE’RE AT
WE’RE JUST DYING TO LIVE LIKE THAT…
