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 It's got me reminiscing on them good times I'm turnin' off a real life drive and that's right I'm hittin' 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 barbed wire, spread the word Light the bonfire then call the girls King in the can and the Marlboro man Jack n' Jim were a few good men Where you 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 somethin' y'all don't know, man that talk is gettin' old Man mind your business, watch your mouth Before I have to knock your loud ass out I'm tired of talkin' man y'all ain't listenin' Them ol' dirt roads, is what y'all missin' 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 It's got me reminiscing on them good times I'm turnin' off a real life drive and that's right I'm hittin' easy street on mud tires I sit back and think about them good old days They way we were raise in our southern ways And we like cornbread and biscuits And if it's broke 'round 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 'round here that's right But we sure do it good and we do it all night So if you really want to 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 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 It's got me reminiscing on them good times I'm turnin' off a real life drive and that's right I'm hittin' easy street on mud tires 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 It's got me reminiscing on them good times I'm turnin' off a real life drive and that's right I'm hittin' easy street on mud tires Let's ride
