Lyrics
Moved to a new town, didn't make a penny
Moved to a new town, faced financial challenges
For the better part of two plus years
Struggled for over two years
Got through somehow, losing to winning
Overcame difficulties, transitioned from losing to winning
And I ended up standing here
Reflecting on the journey and standing at the present moment
Wake up one day, look back
Reflecting on the past
Can't say knew it when you started out
Acknowledging uncertainty at the beginning
Me and my lady luck riding in my old truck
Referencing a positive experience with luck and an old truck
Got me to the here and now
Arrived at the current state through the journey
The key to life ain't opening the lock
The essence of life isn't wealth
To a bag full of money (a bag full of money)
Wealth isn't the key to life
The key to life ain't under the mat
The key to life isn't easily accessible
To some greener grass sunny (out in the country)
True happiness isn't found in external circumstances
It's the simple things like you and me
Appreciating simple things, like relationships
East-bound down no place to be
Heading east without a specific destination
Just driving around, turning that key to life
Driving and experiencing life
It ain't all worked out but everything'll be alright
Accepting uncertainties, believing everything will be alright
Just living that dream, yeah, turning that key to life
Living and pursuing dreams
Yeah, it's lemon in your ice tea, homemade ice cream
Enjoying simple pleasures like lemon ice tea and homemade ice cream
Colder beer and closer friends
Valuing cold beer and close friendships
It's a good back porch and a 4X4
Appreciating a good back porch and a 4X4 vehicle
And a summer that's slow to end
Cherishing a slow-ending summer
It's Amazing Grace when you think it ain't coming along
Finding grace in unexpected moments
It's a second wind when you thought that breeze was gone, come on
Finding renewed strength when things seem bleak
The key to life ain't opening the lock
Reiteration of the idea that wealth isn't the key to life
To a bag full of money (a bag full of money)
Reemphasizing that money doesn't define life
The key to life ain't under the mat
Reaffirming that true happiness isn't in material possessions
To some greener grass sunny (out in the country)
Stating that genuine contentment isn't found in external circumstances
It's the simple things like you and me
Appreciating the simplicity of life, emphasizing relationships
East-bound down no place to be
Heading east without a specific destination (repeated theme)
Just driving around, turning that key to life
Driving and experiencing life (repeated theme)
Yeah, we drink too much but everything'll be alright
Acknowledging imperfections, believing everything will be alright
Just living that dream, yeah, turning that key to life
Living and pursuing dreams (repeated theme)
Some doors swing wide open, some stay forever closed
Some opportunities are readily available, while others remain elusive
I may not know it all, but one thing I know is
Expressing humility and acknowledging limited knowledge
The key to life ain't opening the lock
Reiteration of the idea that wealth isn't the key to life
To a bag full of money (a bag full of money)
Reemphasizing that money doesn't define life
The key to life ain't under the mat
Reaffirming that true happiness isn't in material possessions
To some greener grass sunny (out in the country)
Stating that genuine contentment isn't found in external circumstances
It's the simple things like you and me
Appreciating the simplicity of life, emphasizing relationships
East-bound down no place to be
Heading east without a specific destination (repeated theme)
Just driving around, turning that key to life
Driving and experiencing life (repeated theme)
It ain't all worked out but everything'll be alright
Accepting uncertainties, believing everything will be alright (repeated theme)
Just living that dream, yeah, turning that key to life
Living and pursuing dreams (repeated theme)
