Things You Can’t Live Without Lyrics by Chris Janson (with Travis Tritt)
I had a 1998 Wichita jon boat sittin’ out in the barn
I had a too fast, two-stroke Yamaha dirt bike
Damn thing broke my arm
And I when I sold ’em both, well it hurt just a little
And, man, I sure know now
That there’s things that you can live with
And then there’s things you can’t live without
Like bacon frying’ in a skillet and cigar in my mouth
Mountain Dew in my refrigerator and kids runnin’ ’round the house
And me and her sittin’ with a big fire burnin’, all snuggled up on the couch
Yeah, there’s things that you can live with
And then there’s things you can’t live without
Well, I got a momma and a daddy and the good Lord above me
Got my friends and my family
And I get two weeks vacation every summer
At the Smokies or the white sand beach
My baby wakin’ up on the pillow right beside me
Every morning’s what it’s all about
Yeah, there’s things that you can live with
And then there’s things you can’t live without
Like bacon frying’ in a skillet and cigar in my mouth
Mountain Dew in my refrigerator and kids runnin’ ’round the house
Yeah, me and her sittin’ with a good fire burnin’, all snuggled up on the couch
Yeah, there’s things that you can live with
And then there’s things you can’t live without
I’ll pass, son
Go on, hit ’em
I got some boys in West Virginia makin’ that shine up in the hills
Yeah, they say if that stuff don’t kill ya, boy
Then something else probably will
I got a fine lookin’ woman who wears my ring
And spins every damn head around
Yeah, there’s things that you can live with
And then there’s things you can’t live without
Yeah, like bacon frying’ in a skillet and cigar in my mouth
Mountain Dew in my refrigerator and kids runnin’ ’round the house
Me and her sittin’ with a good fire burnin’, all snuggled up on the couch
Yeah, there’s things that you can live with
And then there’s things you can’t live without
Yeah, there’s things that you can live with
And then there’s things you can’t live without
