People Like Us
Aaron Tippin Lyrics

There's a pool hall juke box, sawdust floors
We enjoy spending time in simple and casual environments, where we can listen to music and play pool on the rough sawdust floor.

Three plays for a quarter, and we still want more
We value thriftiness and find joy in simple pleasures like playing three songs from the jukebox for only a quarter, but our desire for more never ceases.

Yeah there's a reason for fast cars
We like the thrill of speed and the freedom that comes with driving fast cars, it gives us a sense of empowerment.

And that double yellow line
We're drawn to the excitement and risk of breaking the rules, like speeding past that double yellow line on the highway.

Heartbreak songs and good cheap two dollar wine
We find comfort and solace in listening to heartbreak songs, and delight in savoring the taste of good cheap wine that brings us happiness and escape.

'Cause of people like us
Our experiences of fun and thrill are a unique result of the characteristics that people like us embody and value.

There's honky tonk music, long neck bottles
We love the upbeat and lively honky tonk music scene, with long-necked beer bottles as a popular drink choice that complements the fun atmosphere.

Rusty old pickup trucks
We cherish the old and well-worn trucks, they are a symbol of pride and grit that we associate with our culture and values.

Oh at last call the lights go up
We revel in the sweet moment at last call when the music stops, the lights go up, and we have to leave, as it signals the end of a thrilling night we'll remember always.

I got a second hand boat, the last numbers in jail
Our lives are not always easy, and the struggles we face are often visible in our possessions, like a second-hand boat that's seen better days, or a past with brushes with the law.

There's second hand smoke, everywhere i exhale
Our lives are also defined by our imperfections and mistakes, like constantly exhaling second-hand smoke, which shows that we're not always responsible with our choices.

There's greasy little truckstops, all night dives
We love the unassuming truck stops and dives, that serve greasy yet satisfying food, and stay open all night to accommodate our unconventional schedules.

No-tell Motel's and everybody knows why
We sometimes lead lives that others may judge or find immoral, and notorious motels where guests don't have to provide identification, also welcome us for our spontaneous or secretive escapades.

There's honkey tonk music, long neck bottles
We live for the moments of joy that our favorite honky tonk music brings us, while we sip on ice-cold long-necked beers.

And at last call the lights go up
We never want a night of fun to end, but confront the reality of life when at last call the lights go up, signalling the end of the party.

'Cause of people ... people like us
These experiences of thrills, excitement, and solace are unique to people like us, as we hold a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures, and live life fully and unapologetically.

Late night people like us
We thrive in the nighttime, where the atmosphere is alive and we don't have to hide our true selves, and often find comfort in the company of people who share a similar perspective and lifestyle.

Hard lovin people like us
We have a strong sense of passion and devotion in our relationships, and are not afraid to express our emotions freely or to fight for what we believe in, often risking our own happiness to protect those we love.

Hahah, just fun lovin people like us
In the end, what defines us the most is our love for fun and adventure, the ability to find joy in life's simplest pleasures, and our unapologetic approach to living life to the fullest.

Hillbilly people like us!
We embrace the title of hillbilly with pride, a term sometimes used to describe our unconventional and country ways of life, but we know deep down that it's a symbol of our authenticity and strength.
