TVA - Drive-By Truckers[00:00:01]
I grew up[00:00:12]
Two hours north of birmingham[00:00:15]
Me and my daddy used to fish next to wilson dam[00:00:25]
He told some stories[00:00:38]
Camaros and J W dant[00:00:40]
When I got a little older[00:00:50]
I wouldn't and now daddy can't[00:00:52]
So I thank god for the T V A[00:01:02]
Thank god for the T V A[00:01:09]
When me and my daddy[00:01:15]
Used to bow to the river and pray[00:01:18]
Thank god for the T V A[00:01:27]
When I was fifteen[00:01:41]
Me and my girl sat out on the lock[00:01:44]
Watching the raccoons and terrapins dance on the rocks[00:01:54]
She let me put my hand up under her shirt[00:02:08]
I wanted her to want me so bad it hurt[00:02:21]
So I thank god for the T V A[00:02:34]
Thank god for the T V A[00:02:42]
When me and my baby used to lay 'round and[00:02:49]
Wait on the day[00:02:54]
Thank god[00:03:02]
For the T V A[00:03:05]
My granddaddy told me[00:04:12]
When he was just seven or so[00:04:16]
His daddy lost work and they didn't have a row to hoe[00:04:26]
Not too much to eat[00:04:40]
For seven boys and three girls[00:04:44]
All lived in a tent[00:04:54]
Bunch of sharecroppers versus the world[00:04:58]
So his mama sat down[00:05:07]
Wrote a letter to F D R[00:05:11]
'En a couple days later[00:05:22]
Couple of county men came in a car[00:05:25]
Rode out in the field[00:05:36]
Told his daddy to put down the plow[00:05:39]
He helped build the dam[00:05:50]
Gave power to most of the south[00:05:53]
So I thank god for the T V A[00:06:03]
Thank god for the T V A[00:06:10]
When roosevelt let us all work for an honest day's pay[00:06:17]
Thank god[00:06:31]
For the T V A[00:06:34]
