He said, "Boy you ever been outside of this town?
Ever thought about gettin' out to the west coast?
Or down to Mexico?"
I said, "No."
I just stood there pumpin' his gas while he rambled on somethin' 'bout Paris, France
And the Northern Lights
And how they dance at night
And how I'm missin' out on life
He said, "You ain't livin' yet."
That's when I said

"If you've never snuck a kiss in a hayloft
Drove your pickup truck with your shirt off
Or let the rooster crow be your alarm clock
Then you ain't livin' yet
You've never thrown a line out from a Jon boat
Got a little sideways on a dirt road
A little choked up on a Marlboro
Then you ain't livin' yet
Nah, you ain't livin' yet."

I popped the hood on his Cadillac
And checked the oil
While he just laughed and said, "You're right
I've never tried anything like that before."
And I said
"I can tell by the Mardi Gras beads
And the stack of road maps in your back seat
You've been everywhere
But man I swear
This place is different than anywhere."
I told him, "You ain't livin' yet
Now tell me this

You ever put a buckshot through a stop sign?
Felt the burn from your first sip of moonshine?
Revved your engine up at a red light?
Then you ain't livin' yet
You ever thrown your voice out at a tractor pull?
Seen a hot girl ride a mechanical bull?
Poured your heart out on a bar stool?
Then you ain't livin' yet."

He said, "Son, you've got me thinkin'
Thinkin' I might just stick around
By the way you talk, there's a world I've never seen inside of this town
Should let me take a look around
And trade this Cadillac for a step side
Grab an RC Cola and Moonpie
And just soak up this country life
Cause I ain't livin' yet
You're right man when you said
That you ain't livin' yet
Cause I ain't livin' yet."
Nah, you ain't livin' yet

Country music maverick Chase Rice has become one of country music’s most exciting figures since arriving in Nashville, building a loyal fan base across the country through his energetic live shows and gaining the attention of music critics and industry professionals alike with his edgy, eclectic sound. The Tar Heel State native recently released his first taste of new music with “Lonely If You Are,” now available on all digital platforms and climbing the charts at Country radio. The song follows his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, released with Broken Bow Records in 2017 and featuring two-week chart-topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career with more than 200 million streams and counting. Lambs & Lions followed Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; the Platinum-certified “Ready Set Roll” and “Gonna Wanna Tonight.” After supporting Kenny Chesney’s The Big Revival Tour, Rice has consistently sold out 2,500-3,000 seat venues on his own headlining tours, plus served as direct support on the Luke Bryan Farm Tour 2018. His current headlining AM/PM Tour runs through the rest of 2019 before his The Pint of Anything Tour hits Europe in early 2020.
