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 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
And I'm sure happy with what I've got
I live to love and laugh a lot
And that's all I need

My buddies all tried to change my mind
But I told them that I'd 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
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've got
I live to love and laugh a lot
And 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 knees
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've got
I live to love and laugh a lot
And that's all I need
And I never wanted nothin' more
And I never wanted nothin' more
