Story behind the song
The perils of getting sober while being a successful writer in the country music business. Having your wife, job, truck and dog back just doesn't make for much of a country song!
Lyrics
Clean Livin'
Dave McIsaac ©2008
I used to write hit songs on the country radio
Songs about my life and the way things used to go
Chasin' women, drinkin', fightin', raisin' hell, yee-haw!
Then I went and got myself in trouble with the law
(Chorus)
My life used to make such a great country song
All the drinkin', carousin', then everything went wrong
Ever since that judge sentenced me to "Double A"
My clean livin' don't make a good country song
I used to go out drinkin' with my buddies every night
What started as a party always ended in a fight
Drunken brawls in cheap dance halls, man that was the life
Now I'm sittin' home watchin' TV with my wife
(Chorus)
I guess I just got tired of wakin' up on the floor
Wonderin' what the hell did I do the night before
And maybe this clean livin's gettin' my life back on track
My wife, my job, my truck, my dog - hey, I got 'em back
(Chorus)
