Lyrics

Got MeThis Far

There's a hand me down hand me down Super Sport Chevelle
Daddy's daddy made him promise that he'd never sell
He gave it to me and man I gave it hell
And I still got it.

I got a vintage Sears Silvertone spinning 45s
Songs are long gone but they make me feel alive
The vinyl wears out but the music never dies
And I still got it

You don't throw away a diamond just because it's got some dust on
Trade in a classic cuz it's got a little rust
You hold onto the things that matter no matter how used up they are
I don't give up on things that got me this far
I don't give up on things that got me this far

I've got a tattoo of a cross that I ain't afraid to show
Gets me through the bad and never lets me go
It's written on my arm but carved into my soul
And I still got it

You don't throw away a diamond just because it's got some dust on
Trade in a classic cuz it's got a little rust
You hold onto the things that matter no matter how used up they are
I don't give up on things that got me this far
I don't give up on things that got me this far

Grandaddy took my grandmas hand
With a table cut stone on a ten carat band
That kinda loves the only kind I understand
Oh and honey I'm cut from the very same cloth
I swear if you slip it on
We can make it
Just like they made it.

You don't throw away a diamond just because it's got some dust on
Trade in a classic cuz it's got a little rust
You hold onto the things that matter no matter how used up they are
I don't give up on things that got me this far
I don't give up on things that got me this far
I don't give up on things that got me this far
