Morgan was born in Kingston Springs, Tennessee and grew up in rural Tennessee. He became an Emergency medical technician at age 18. A few years later, he joined the Army and was stationed in South Korea. He would later see combat as part of Operation Just Cause in Panama in 1989. During his deployment in Korea, Morgan wrote a number of songs and won various military singing and songwriting contests. He is a vocal supporter of the US military, performing for service-personnel in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Upon his return home to Tennessee, he worked various jobs to support his family, including working as a construction worker, a security guard and a sheriff's deputy. He would later land a job in Nashville singing demos for other songwriters and publishing companies.
The demos led to releasing his first album with Atlantic Records, the self-titled Craig Morgan in 2000. In 2003, Morgan signed with Broken Bow Records and released his second album, I Love It. It featured the single "Almost Home", which broke into the Top 10 and earned Morgan a Songwriter Achievement Award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International.
In 2005, Morgan released his third album, My Kind of Livin', which included the smash hit "That's What I Love About Sunday." A four-week number one hit in the early spring of 2005, it was the biggest country music song of that year according to Billboard. The album also included the #2 hit "Redneck Yacht Club". Also included was "I Got You", which Craig had originally penned for Keith Urban, but decided to cut himself instead. "Little Bit Of Life", the lead-off single and title track of his fourth album, is currently climbing the charts.

Craig Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little bit of truck
A little bit of hound dog
And a little bit of luck
A little bit of bacon
A little bit of beans
A little bit of you lovin' up on me
A little bit of how it supposed to be
A little bit of backseat
A little bit of moon
A little bit of radio, a goin' boom, boom, boom
A little bit of sugar
A little bit of spice
A little bit of nasty
A little bit of nice
A little bit of how it supposed to be
A little bit of life
I breath in
I breath out
Yes, sleepin' all night with the windows down
Up in the mornin', stirrin' around
Drink a pot of coffee, and I head off to town
Work, work, work
All day long, crank it up, back it up, bring it on home
Supper on the table and I eat me a bite
Then we snuggle on the porch by the pale moon light
A little bit of me and you doin' alright
A little bit of life
A little bit of tractor
A little bit of farm
A little bit of cornfield
A little bit of barn
A little bit of come on
A little bit of play
A little bit of yee haw in the hay
A Dixie cup
A homemade wine
A little bit of life
I breath in
I breath out
Yes, sleepin' all night with the windows down
Up in the mornin', stirrin' around
Drink a pot of coffee, and I head off to town
Work, work, work
All day long, crank it up, back it up, bring it on home
Supper on the table and I eat me a bite
Then we snuggle on the porch by the pale moon light
A little bit of me and you doin' alright
A little bit of life
A little bit of back porch
A little bit of swing
A little bit of wind chimes goin' ding-a-ling
A little bit of TV
A little bit of couch
Popcorn smellin' up the house
Ala mode on a little slice of homemade pie
A little bit of Life
I breath in
I breath out
Yes, sleepin' all night with the windows down
Up in the mornin', stirrin' around
Drink a pot of coffee, and I head off to town
Work, work, work
All day long, crank it up, back it up, bring it on home
Supper on the table and I eat me a bite
Then we snuggle on the porch by the pale moon light
A little bit of me and you doin' alright
A little bit of life
A little bit of me and you doin' alright
A little bit of life
A little bit of life
A little bit of guitar
A little bit of truck
A little bit of hound dog
A little bit of luck
A little bit of backseat
A little bit of moon
A little bit of radio, boom, boom, boom
A little bit of bacon
A little bit of beans
A little bit of you lovin' up on me
A little bit of come on
A little bit of play
A little bit of yee haw in the hay

Craig is somehow both relevant in the current day and also brings that great 80's-2000's era of truly great country
Jonny Enough
No joke
Fing Book
Emblematic country song right here. Upbeat, positive, yet down to earth about work and just living life but he makes it so much fun.
Jane Jones
I love your comment. This is why I'm a country music fan. The songs mean something. Even if it's just enjoy the life that you have or simple pleasures are the best.
Camille Boyers
What a beautiful love song. Its a mystery to me why it didn't get more air time when it was released.
