Back In Style
Dean Brody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sittin' in the bed of my truck
Barefoot and cuddled up
Sippin' sweet tea in the settin' sun
It's so hot outside, her hair's untied and all undone

Johnson Hill overlooks the fence
To the only drive-in, left from here to Lincoln county
A little statics alright with us
Yeah, it's Friday night, how we unwind and get all undone

Tune our dial to 1650
A Coleman lantern and hot dogs grillin'
Ain't no one up here but a few bull frogs
Yeah, our idea of getting crazy has a lot
To do with just getting lazy

On a patch quilted blanket
We'll put the brakes on the rush
Yeah, it's Friday at night time
To unwind and get all undone

Fog settin' in, the air is so thick
Nights like these it's good to be wet
So we might go dippin' in Miller's pond
Yes, we might turn the headlights off
Leave the radio on and get all undone

Tune our dial to 1650
A Coleman lantern and hot dogs grillin'
Ain't no one up here but a few bull frogs
Yeah, our idea of getting crazy has a lot
To do with just getting lazy

On a patch quilted blanket
We'll put the brakes on the rush
Yeah, it's Friday at night time
To unwind and get all undone

Yeah, it's Friday night
Time to unwind and get all undone
