Yeah I'm chilling on a dirt road Laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones Smoke rollin' out the window An ice cold beer sittin' in the console Memory lane up in the headlights Has got me reminiscing on the good times I'm turning off the real life, driving, that's right I'm hittin' easy street in mud tires Back in the day pop's 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 The king in the can and the Marlboro man Jack and Jim were a few good men When 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 ya'll don't know Man that talk is getting old Man mind your business watch your mouth Before I have to knock your loud mouth out I'm tired of talking man ya'll ain't listenin' Them old dirt roads is what ya'll missin' Yeah I'm chilling on a dirt road Laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones Smoke rollin' out the window An ice cold beer sittin' in the console Memory lane up in the headlights Has got me reminiscing on the good times I'm turning off the real life, driving, that's right I'm hittin' easy street in mud tires I sit back and think about them good ol' days The way we were raised and our southern ways And we like cornbread and biscuits If it's broke round here we fix it I can take ya'll where you need to go Down to my hood and back in them woods We do it different 'round here that's right And 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 a truck and four wheel Jump on in tell yo' friends And we'll be raising hell where the black top ends I'm chilling on a dirt road Laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones Smoke rollin' out the window, An ice cold beer sittin' in the console Memory lane up in the headlights Has got me reminiscing on the good times I'm turning off the real life, driving, that's right I'm hittin' easy street in mud tires that's right Yeah I'm chillin' on a dirt road Laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones Smoke rollin' out the window An ice cold beer sittin' in the console Memory lane up in the headlights Has got me reminiscing on the good times I'm turning off the real life, driving, that's right I'm hittin' easy street in mud tires that's right
