Never Wanted Nothing More
Kenny Chesney Lyrics

I couldn't wait to turn sixteen
I eagerly anticipated turning sixteen

And drive all the boys around
So I could show off and impress my peers

Foot on the gas and hands on the wheel
That moment was all I could think about

Was all I could think about
I was obsessed with the idea

A little rust in the bed of that truck
The truck I bought wasn't perfect, but I loved it anyway

And a four speed on the floor
It had a manual transmission, which I preferred

Five hundred dollars
It was affordable and within my budget

It was mine all mine
I felt a sense of ownership and pride

I took Katie down by the river
I went on a date with a girl named Katie

With a six dollar bottle of wine
I couldn't afford anything more expensive

Just a fool tryin' to play it cool
I was nervous and trying to act confident

Hopin' she'd let me cross the line
I wanted to take our relationship to the next level

And I was prayin' that she couldn't tell
I was hoping to hide my inexperience

I'd never been that far before
I had never been intimate with a girl before

The first time's a one time feeling
The experience was special and unforgettable

And I never wanted nothin' more
I was content and satisfied with what we had

Well, I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not
I accept myself for who I am

And I'm sure happy with what I've got
I am grateful for what I have in life

I live to love and laugh a lot
I prioritize love and happiness in my life

And that's all I need
I don't need anything else to be happy

My buddies all tried to change my mind
My friends tried to talk me out of getting married

But I told them that I thought it through
I had made up my mind and thought it through carefully

Well Katie laughed and my mama cried
Katie found my conviction endearing, but my mother was emotional

When they heard me say I do
At my wedding, I committed to spend my life with Katie

Her little ring was a little thing
We couldn't afford an expensive engagement ring

But it was all that I could afford
We made the best with what we had

Now shes mine all mine
I feel a strong sense of commitment and love for my wife

'Til the day I die
I will love and cherish her forever

One Sunday I listened to the preacher
I attended church and listened to the sermon

And I knew he was preaching to me
I felt like the message was directed at me

I couldn't help it I walked up front
I felt compelled to approach the front of the church

And I got down on my knee
I kneeled down in prayer and reflection

Right then and there I swear
At that moment, I made a commitment to change my life

I changed when I found the Lord
My faith has transformed me as a person

Glory Hallelujah good God Almighty
I am grateful for the blessings in my life

And I never wanted nothing more
I am content and satisfied with what I have
