Lainey Wilson – Live Off (My thoughts and confessions)


Well, I declare! Right this very moment, I find myself fixated on a series of music videos, all starring the incomparable Lainey Wilson. I’m tellin’ ya, this darling has got talent that would make the morning sun blush! Her music has a way of seeping into your soul like sweet molasses, stirring emotions that are deep as a well and just as refreshing.

Now, the song that’s really got my toes tappin’ this morning is “Live Off.” Y’all, it’s a tune that I could just soak up like warm sunshine on a summer’s day. It’s got this kick that gets your heart thumpin’ and your feet movin’. I swear, if this melody were a two-step, it’d have me dancin’ clear across my hardwood kitchen floor.

Every note from Lainey’s guitar resonates deep within me, like the ringing of a church bell on a quiet Sunday mornin’. And her voice, oh mercy! It’s as sweet as honeysuckle and as powerful as a thunderclap on a stormy Southern night. Makes you feel things you didn’t even know were tucked away in the corners of your heart.

I reckon that’s the beauty of country music, y’all. It’s real and raw, just like life in the South. And Lainey Wilson, well, she’s the embodiment of that authenticity and passion. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to lose myself in her music once more, just as one might bask in a beautiful, golden sunset.

So until next time, keep your hearts open and your radios tuned to the good ol’ country station. Y’all take care, ya hear?

Lainey Wilson Live Off Lyrics

I live off crumpled dollars from an old pickle jar
I live off what I’m growin’ in the back of the yard
Folgers hot in the mornin’
Sun shinin’ on my double wide

I live off seven hours with a dog in the bed
I live off of them letters written in crimson red
Sunday talks with my mama
Porch pickin’ and my chicken fried

I live off a back road in a small town
Story like my daddy before me and his daddy before that
I live off a hard day’s work
Penny saved, penny earned
Just to keep this shirt on my back

Aw, yeah
I live off of a good man’s lovin’ with tough in his blood and a heart of pure gold
From the very first breath I breathe to my last “y’all”
I ain’t ever gonna turn the way I live off

I live off swappin’ stories with some friends around the fire
I live off gassin’ up and gettin’ mud on the tires
Bourbon on sonic ice
And a damn good country song

I live off a back road in a small town
Story like my daddy before me and his daddy before that
I live off a hard day’s work
Penny saved, penny earned
Just to keep this shirt on my back

Aw, yeah
I live off of a good man’s lovin’ with tough in his blood and a heart of pure gold
From the very first breath I breathe to my last “y’all”
I ain’t ever gonna turn the way I live off

Well, I’m livin’ up and passin’ down
‘Til they lay me in the ground

I live off a back road in a small town
Story like my daddy before me and his daddy before that
I live off a hard day’s work
Penny saved, penny earned
Just to keep this shirt on my back

Aw, yeah
I live off of a good man’s lovin’ with tough in his blood and a heart of pure gold
From the very first breath I breathe to my last “y’all”
I ain’t ever gonna turn the way I live off

I’ma turn the way I live off (ain’t no way)
Never, turn the way I live off (ain’t no way)
I’ma turn the way I live off (ain’t no way)
Never
