Thump
Adam Brand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He gets off work about 5
Been gearing up all day, for a hot Friday night
There's a big ol' party, down by the lake
Got a cooler, and a case, got girls all over the place
When the sun starts sinking down real low
Hooks monster speakers to the stereo
He climbs up in the bed of his trucks
And starts screaming at the top of his lungs

When you do it in the country you go Thump Thump Thump
When they do it in the city they go bump bump bump
So throw up your hands and jump jump jump
Cause everybody wants to go
The real nitty gritty, the country or the city
Everybody wants to go thump Thump Thump

She gets off work 4:15
Jumps in a tanning bed, then she calls up Irene
She says hey girlfriend, do you wanna run around
I'm on a mission, I'm going fishin' for a party out on the town
They found a place where the band was rocking
The boys were manly and the times were poppin'
Up on the bar, putting on a show
Kicking up her heels and letting everybody know

When you do it in the country you go Thump Thump Thump
When they do it in the city they go bump bump bump
So throw up your hands and go jump jump jump
Cause everybody wants to go
The real nitty gritty, the country or the city
Everybody wants to go Thump thump thump

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah

When you do it in the county you go Thump thump Thump
When they do it in the city they go bump bump bump
So throw up your hands and jump jump jump
Cause everybody wants to go
When you do it in the country you go Thump Thump thump
When you do it in the city they go bump bump bump
So throw up your hands and jump jump jump
The real nitty gritty




The country or the city
Cause everybody wants to go Thump Thump Thump

@245976 yeah I know. Couple of words (rather than full lyrics) missed the mark. But near enough considering there was nothing else posted to hear.
