Welcome back to Country Music 4 Ever! Today, I am going to talk about one of my favorite Blake Shelton songs, “I Lived It.” I love the storytelling of this song. The whole song is about memories of his childhood. It paints a picture of life out in the country.

The first verse of this song says, “Daddy drove the wheels off a flatbed ford. Flies found a hole in the old screen door. Granny said the dress that my sister wore to church wasn't long enough. Mama poured grease in a Crisco can, put a hundred thousand miles on a Sears box fan. Uncle Joe put tobacco in my hand where them yellow jackets torn me up, and I ain't making this up.”

It is the little details in this song that make it so good. He sings about everything from drinking from a hose to earning a two dollar bill for mowing the yard. It is a simple storyline, but that is what makes it so good. People like songs that remind them of their childhood or their lives right now. And as everybody knows, country music tells these stories the best. This song reached number three on the country airplay chart.

Thanks for reading. Please let me know what you think. I'll be back soon!
