  • By now I think I've heard every line
    There is to hear 'bout a truck
    And I've got the point that the beer tastes good
    When you're down on your luck
    But don't get me wrong a summer song
    Sounds good when you're on the shore
    But every now and then I wanna dig in
    And hear something that means something more

    Like a mama's love even when she don't approve
    Four generations sittin' on the same church pew
    A soldier's first steps back through his own front door
    Yeah, something that means something more

    It's amazing how this old guitar
    Can say so many things
    It can laugh, it can cry
    It can bring you fortune and fame
    But now as I'm sittin' down strummin' out these chords
    I'm praying that it's saying
    Something that means something more

    Like a long lost friend on the other end of the line
    A daddy's eyes when he holds his baby for the first time
    Grandpa goin' to meet Grandma and the Lord
    Yeah, something that means something more

    Saying "I do," puttin' that ring on
    Gettin' the news that the cancer's gone
    Knowing that man up on the cross in a crown of thorns
    Yeah, something that means something
    Oh, something that means something
    Something that means something more
    Something more Writer/s: Frank Mandeville V. Rogers, Scotty Cooke McCreery
