CURRENT SINGLE: “We Didn’t Have Much”
Justin Moore’s latest top 20 hit, “We Didn’t Have Much,” is about living life a little simpler, with less stuff and the people you love. There are a lot of great lines in the song, but Justin says, “Probably my favorite line in the song, just because I literally remember this kind of thing happenin’ when I was growing up, is, ‘Dogs barkin’ in the yard at a truck we don’t know.’ Like, how does a dog know that trucks okay, and I ain’t never seen that truck? But they do.”
Justin finds it both amusing and perplexing, that just like a human, a dog knows a stranger’s truck when he sees one. “Growing up in a town of 300 people, there’s a person now, when a truck comes through town, you go, who is that? I ain’t never seen that truck, you know.”
And the fact that dogs have that same ability to recognize a stranger’s truck, and Justin and his co-writers were able to write that into “We Didn’t Have Much,” makes him smile. “That line always cracks me up and grabs my attention,” says Justin.

“Probably my favorite line in the song, just because I literally remember this kind of thing happenin’ when I was growing up, is, ‘Dogs barkin’ in the yard at a truck we don’t know.’ Like, how does a dog know that trucks okay, and I ain’t never seen that truck? But they do. You know, they’re part of the family, and it’s just like growing up in a town of 300 people. There’s a person now, when a truck comes through town, you go, who is that? I ain’t never seen that truck, you know. That line always cracks me up and grabs my attention.”
