Ain't That Something
verse 1-
summers where i come from
are like running on the sun
so damn hot
but we know a few spots
to keep us cool
and that winter snow
has been known to go
from 0 to 60
in no time flat
i wish i could go back
chorus-
i bleed that muddy water of that Sacramento River bank
and i've been washed on the shore of that Shasta Lake
its red dirt runs in my veins
i was raised
in those California hills
small town
runnin around
couldn't tell me nothing
hey ain't that something
verse 2-
riding horses
and bringing in the crop
working until sunset
you can bet
we'll get the job done
and then its time to have some fun
couple of buddies and some beer
getting lost out here
chorus-
i bleed that muddy water of that Sacramento River bank
and i've been washed on the shore of that Shasta Lake
its red dirt runs in my veins
i was raised
in those California hills
small town
runnin around
couldn't tell me nothing
hey ain't that something
verse 3-
its made me who i am
and i'd do it all again
take it all in
oh
chorus-
i bleed that muddy water of that Sacramento River bank
and i've been washed on the shore of that Shasta Lake
its red dirt runs in my veins
i was raised
in those California hills
small town
runnin around
couldn't tell me nothing
