Tea Was a Little Sweeter

When I look back there ain’t much changed from where I used to be
And even though I’m not there it still lives inside me
New blacktop running through family farms
I hear we finally got our own Walmart
Everything’s bound to grow up
But damn I wish I was

Shucking silver queen on my grandma’s porch
Peach ice cream churning on the floor
Tellin’ largemouth lies when ya fishin’
Girl next door had you wishin’
On a shooting star in a July sky
4th and 1 on a Friday night
When the muddy water made my soul a little cleaner
Life was good and the tea was a little sweeter

That county line didn't stand a chance
Being anywhere else was my only plan
I couldn't wait to get out, but now all I think about is

Shucking silver queen on my grandma’s porch
Peach ice cream churning on the floor
Tellin’ largemouth lies when ya fishin’
Girl next door had you wishin’
On a shooting star in a July sky
4th and 1 on a Friday night
When the muddy water made my soul a little cleaner
Life was good and the tea was a little sweeter

No I ain’t saying the grass was greener
But it sure felt like the tea was a little sweeter
Now we’re

Shucking silver queen on my grandma’s porch
Peach ice cream churning on the floor
Tellin’ largemouth lies when ya fishin’
Girl next door had you wishin’
On a shooting star in a July sky
4th and 1 on a Friday night
When the muddy water made my soul a little cleaner
Yea that muddy water kept my soul a little cleaner
Life was good and the tea was a little sweeter

The tea was a little sweeter
Hmm, it was sweeter
