(Just let off the clutch real easy, easy, three, four, go)

Yeah, some girls when they turn sixteen
Get a bright red Mustang GT
Some get a bug, some get a Jeep (ooh)
Some got a daddy with some pockets real deep (mhm)
But I grew up out in the woods
Where something like that wouldn't do you no good (naw, man)
Most of the roads still ain't paved
It's a little bumpy, but I like it that way

That's why I got a truck sittin' in the driveway
Trackin' that mud up and down the highway
I can haul ass, I can haul hay
I can fill 'er up every time I get paid
The view's just better up on 35s
Ain't a dirt road 'round here it can't ride
I can get you out if you get stuck
Tailgate down, make a little love
That's why I got a truck (ha-ha)

Top of last week, had to put 'er in the shop
Turns out the damn transmission done dropped
Spent the past week rollin' in a rental
Seat leaned back in a Lincoln Continental (aww hell)
Countin' down the days 'til I pick 'er up
This two-wheel drive don't get the job done
Sure, it's got an HD screen on the dash
But it ain't even got a hitch on the back

That's why I got a truck sittin' in the driveway
Trackin' that mud up and down the highway
I can haul ass, I can haul hay
I can fill 'er up every time I get paid
The view's just better up on 35s
Ain't a dirt road 'round here it can't ride
I can get you out if you get stuck
Tailgate down, make a little love
That's why I got a truck

Woo

Yeah, y'all keep that Mercedes
'Cause this girl just ain't a fan (no, I ain't)
Yeah, 'round here all the ladies still love a pickup man (yep)

That's why I got a truck sittin' in the driveway
Trackin' that mud up and down the highway
I can haul ass, I can haul hay
I can fill 'er up every time I get paid
The view's just better up on 35s (up on 35s)
Ain't a dirt road 'round here it can't ride (ain't a road I can't ride)
I can get you out if you get stuck
Tailgate down, make a little love
That's why I got a truck

That's why I got a truck
That's why I got a truck (you know)
So I can back it up, yeah
That's why I got a truck (c'mon Blake, uh)

(Hey Rae, back that thing up here, the truck, Rae, back the truck up)
