[00:00:01] TVA - Drive-By Truckers

[00:00:12] I grew up

[00:00:15] Two hours north of birmingham

[00:00:25] Me and my daddy used to fish next to wilson dam

[00:00:38] He told some stories

[00:00:40] Camaros and J W dant

[00:00:50] When I got a little older

[00:00:52] I wouldn't and now daddy can't

[00:01:02] So I thank god for the T V A

[00:01:09] Thank god for the T V A

[00:01:15] When me and my daddy

[00:01:18] Used to bow to the river and pray

[00:01:27] Thank god for the T V A

[00:01:41] When I was fifteen

[00:01:44] Me and my girl sat out on the lock

[00:01:54] Watching the raccoons and terrapins dance on the rocks

[00:02:08] She let me put my hand up under her shirt

[00:02:21] I wanted her to want me so bad it hurt

[00:02:34] So I thank god for the T V A

[00:02:42] Thank god for the T V A

[00:02:49] When me and my baby used to lay 'round and

[00:02:54] Wait on the day

[00:03:02] Thank god

[00:03:05] For the T V A

[00:04:12] My granddaddy told me

[00:04:16] When he was just seven or so

[00:04:26] His daddy lost work and they didn't have a row to hoe

[00:04:40] Not too much to eat

[00:04:44] For seven boys and three girls

[00:04:54] All lived in a tent

[00:04:58] Bunch of sharecroppers versus the world

[00:05:07] So his mama sat down

[00:05:11] Wrote a letter to F D R

[00:05:22] 'En a couple days later

[00:05:25] Couple of county men came in a car

[00:05:36] Rode out in the field

[00:05:39] Told his daddy to put down the plow

[00:05:50] He helped build the dam

[00:05:53] Gave power to most of the south

[00:06:03] So I thank god for the T V A

[00:06:10] Thank god for the T V A

[00:06:17] When roosevelt let us all work for an honest day's pay

[00:06:31] Thank god

[00:06:34] For the T V A
