Lyrics

I watched the sunset
Through the grass blades
The bats were coming in to dance on my street
My jeans were still wet
From catching crawdads
And all the lightning bugs were lightning just to be
It's a short life, but it's a good life
For my family and me
Oh, yeah

If you're homesick
It's your heart telling your mind that you love somebody
If you got regrets
There's a possibility that you got something to check off your list
It's a long walk home and a short life to live

I hear my mama call out for kool-aid
I was swingin' for the fence that summer's eve
My mamaw cleaning my grandpa's catfish
She always warned me of how sharp the fins could be
It's a short life, but it's a good life
For my family and me
Oh, yeah

If you're homesick
It's your heart telling your mind that you love somebody
If you got regrets
There's a possibility that you got something to check off your list
It's a long walk home and a short life to live

Oh, yeah
Oh, if you're homesick
It's your heart telling your mind that you love somebody
If you got regrets
There's a possibility that you got something to check off your list
Oh, if you're homesick
It's your heart telling your mind that you love somebody
If you got regrets
There's a possibility that you got something to check off your list
It's a long walk home and a short life to live
It's a long walk home and a short life to live
It's a long walk home and a short life, a short life to live
