    It's just small town filling and just living the small town an—
    Like my kids ride dirt bikes and motorcycles
    and they just go across the street in the field and ride.
    I can watch 'em off my front porch, um.
    My one boy's into shed-horn hunting,
    so he'll take off and go park his truck out west and be gone all day, and—
    They— The mountains are just in our backyard.
    That's the nice part about it

    When I get up, she swears that she don't hear it
    Says that I'm as quiet as a mouse
    I comb my hair and throw some water on my face
    And back out of the stillness of our house
    Lately, my patience is in short supply
    Nothing good seems to ever come from all this work
    No matter how hard I try

    You know I believe in the Son, I ain't no backslider
    But my people were told they'd prosper in this land
    Still, I know some who've never seen the ocean
    Or set one foot on a velvet bed of sand
    But they've got their treasure laying way up high
    Where there might be many mansions
    But when I look up, all I see is sky

    Maybe it's the getting by that gets right underneath you
    It'd swallow up your every step, boy, if it could
    But maybe it's the stuff it takes to get up
    In the morning and put another day in, son
    That holds you till the getting's good
    Green ribbon front doors, dishwater days
    This whole town is tied to the torso of God's mysterious ways

    Maybe it's the getting by that gets right underneath you
    It'd swallow up your every step, boy, if it could
    But maybe it's the stuff it takes to get up
    In the morning and put another day in, son
    That keeps you standing where you should
    So put another day in, son, and hold on till the getting's good

    Twice a day. Twice a day.
    Yeah, twice a day it comes through— my grandkids.
    When it comes through, they run out
    and they look down the road because they like to see it go by
