50 Years Too Late

(Mm, mm, mm)

I like spring and dogs and rusty screen doors

Candlelight on creaky wood floors

A good sunrise and fireflies in a jar, yes

A banjo ringin' through the pines

The way I feel on a homemade wine and jug fishin'

Under a sky full of stars

Well, I'm okay, yes, I'm just fine

Just wish the world would move slower

Or that I could go back in time

Well, I'm just a down-home southern

Lord, I don't need nothin', just enough to get me by (get me by)

And I was raised at an early age when you shake a man's hand

You look him square in the eye (oh, square in the eye)

I'm a real cool old school, don't you lie to me, fool

There ain't a damn thing about me fake, no

I'm a modern-day John Wayne, got my daddy's last name

Born 50 years too late, yep, ah (ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-hoo)

Now, whatever happened to an honest day's work?

Sweatin' your ass off in a flannel shirt

It's a fast-paced rat race, don't even know

Take a who's a-gonna finish first (who's gonna finish first?)

Nowadays, it's safe to say that a damn dog's got more rights

'Cause the administration's tryna rule this population

Folks, we gotta stand up and we gotta fight

But I don't complain (ooh-hoo), I take it all in stride

Just seems this whole world, it has changed

And almost overnight

Oh well, but I'm still down-home southern

Lord, I don't need nothin', just enough to get me by

And I was raised at an early age when you shake a man's hand

You look him square in the eye (square in the eye)

I'm a real cool old school, don't you lie to me, fool

There ain't a damn thing about me fake (there ain't a damn thing about me)

I'm a modern-day John Wayne, got my daddy's last name

Born 50 years too late, yeah (ooh)

Born 50 years too late

Just down-home southern

Lord, I don't need nothin' (oh), just enough to get me by (ooh)

And I was raised at an early age when you shake a man's hand (oh)

You look him square in the eye (oh-oh)

I'm a real cool old school, don't lie to me, fool

There ain't a damn thing about me fake, no sir

Well, I'm a modern-day John Wayne, got my daddy's last name

Born 50 years too late, ha

Born 50 years too late

(Mm-mm, mm-mm)

(Mm-mm, mm-mm)

Born 50 years too late

(Mm-mm, mm-mm)

I like spring, dogs and rusty screen doors

Candlelight on creaky wood floors

A good sunrise and fireflies in a jar
