I couldn't wait to turn 16
And drive all the boys around
Foot on the gas and hands on the wheel
Was all I could think about
A little rust in the bed of that truck
And a four speed on the floor
Five hundred dollars it was mine all mine
And I never wanted nothin' more
I took Katie down by the river
With a six dollar bottle of wine
Just a fool tryin' to play it cool
Hopin' she'd let me cross the line
And I was prayin' that she couldn't tell
I'd never been that far before
The first time's a one time feelin'
And I never wanted nothin' more
No, I never wanted nothin' more
Well I'm what I am
And I'm what I'm not
I'm sure happy with what I got
I live to love and laugh a lot
That's all I need
My buddies all tried to change my mind
But I told 'em that I thought it through
Well Katie laughed and my mama cried
When they heard me say 'I Do'
Her little ring is a little thing
But it's all that I could afford
Now she's mine all mine 'til the day I die
And I never wanted nothin' more
No, I never wanted nothin' more
Well I'm what I am
And I'm what I'm not
I'm sure happy with what I got
I live to love and laugh a lot
That's all I need
One Sunday I listened to the preacher
And I knew he was preachin' to me
I couldn't help it I walked up front
And I got down on my knee
Right then and there I swear I changed
When I found the Lord
Glory, hallelujah, good God almighty
I never wanted nothin' more
No, I never wanted nothin' more
Well I'm what I am
And I'm what I'm not
And I'm sure happy with what I got
I live to love and laugh a lot
That's all I need
Never wanted nothin' more
And I never wanted nothin' more
