about

A swampy tune about how each new crop of kids think they are the ones who figured out everything about drinking, getting high, chasing girls and all sorts of mischief They didn't.

Cowritten with my good buddy from south Georgia, Keal Franklin.

lyrics

VERSE
Me and my cousin Randall used to sneak out behind the barn
To smoke my grandpas Pall Mall cigarettes
Just like that ol Marlboro man riding on the range
We thought we were blazing trials that hadn’t been rode yet

CHORUS
It ain’t me
That started all that smoke
It ain’t me that took that drink or rocked that first boat
Folks been raising hell for 1000s of years
If you’re looking for someone to blame
It ain’t me

VERSE
Uncle Joe gave me my first sip of shine
On the tailgate of his old Ford pickup truck
I felt like old Johnny Cash tryin’ to walk the line
I thought I’d found the secret of being all grown up

CHORUS
It ain’t me
That started all that smoke
It ain’t me that took that drink or rocked that first boat
Folks been raising hell for 1000s of years
If you’re looking for someone to blame
It ain’t me

BRIDGE
It’s all been done before passed down from age to age
You ain’t breakin virgin ground you're just writing another page

CHORUS
It ain’t me
That started all that smoke
It ain’t me that took that first drink or rocked that first boat
Folks been raising hell for 1000s of years
If you’re looking for someone to blame
It ain’t me
