Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(upbeat music)

♪ Yeah I'm chilling on a dirt road ♪

♪ Laid back swerving like I'm George Jones ♪

♪ Smoke rolling out the window ♪

♪ An ice cold beer sitting in the console ♪

♪ Memory lane up in the headlights ♪

♪ It's got me reminiscing on the good times ♪

♪ I'm turning off of real life driving, that's right ♪

♪ I'm hitting easy street on mud tires ♪

♪ Back in the day Potts farm was the place to go ♪

♪ Load the truck up, hit the dirt road ♪

♪ Jump the barbwire spread the word ♪

♪ Light the bonfire, then call the girls ♪

♪ King in the can and the Marlboro man ♪

♪ Jack and Jim were a few good men ♪

♪ We learned how to kiss and cuss and fight too ♪

♪ Better watch out for the boys in blue ♪

♪ And all this small town he-said-she-said ♪

♪ Ain't it funny how rumors spread ♪

♪ Like I know something y'all don't know ♪

♪ Man, that talk is getting old ♪

♪ You better mind your business man, watch your mouth ♪

♪ Before I have to knock that loud mouth out ♪

♪ I'm tired of talking man, y'all ain't listening ♪

♪ Them old dirt roads is what y'all missing ♪

♪ Yeah I'm chilling on a dirt road ♪

♪ Laid back, swerving like I'm George Jones ♪

♪ Smoke rolling out the window ♪

♪ An ice cold beer sitting in the console ♪

♪ Memory lane up in the headlights ♪

♪ It's got me reminiscing on the good times ♪

♪ I'm turning off of real life driving, that's right ♪

♪ I'm hitting easy street on mud tires ♪

♪ I sit back, and think about them good old days ♪

♪ The way we were raised in our Southern ways ♪

♪ And we like cornbread and biscuits ♪

♪ And if it's broke around here we fix it ♪

♪ I can take y'all where you need to go ♪

♪ Down to my hood, back in them woods ♪

♪ We do it different around here, that's right ♪

♪ But we sure do it good, and we do it all night ♪

♪ So if you really wanna know how it feels ♪

♪ To get off the road with trucks and four wheels ♪

♪ Jump on in, and man, tell your friends ♪

♪ We'll raise some hell where the black top ends ♪

♪ I'm chilling on a dirt road ♪

♪ Laid back, swerving like I'm George Jones ♪

♪ Smoke rolling out the window ♪

♪ An ice cold beer sitting in the console ♪

♪ Memory lane up in the headlights ♪

♪ It's got me reminiscing on them good times ♪

♪ I'm turning off a real life driving, that's right ♪

♪ I'm hitting easy street on mud tires ♪

♪ Let's ride ♪
