Take A Little Ride
Jason Aldean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bailin' some hay and stacking it all up
Can't wait for the sun to go down
Roll into town, shine the old truck up
Swing by the quick stop
Grab a couple Rocky Tops
Then ease on out your way
To your place around 8 o'clock
Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy
Ride this Chevy down a little backroad
Slide your pretty little self on over
Get a little closer, turn up the radio
Put your pretty pink toes on the dash
Lean your seat back
Man I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that
Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do
I wanna take a little ride with you
I hope you're wearing those frayed out cut-offs
Makes me want to get lost out in the moonlight
Drop the tailgate down on a turn road
Watch the corn grow, baby that's a good night
Anyone from the heartland is gonna understand
What I'm talking about right now
Ain't no doubt, we got a game plan
Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy
Ride this Chevy down a little backroad
Slide your pretty little self on over
Get a little closer, turn up the radio
Put your pretty pink toes on the dash
Lean your seat back
Man I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that
Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do
I wanna take a little ride with you
Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy
Ride this Chevy down a little backroad
Slide your pretty little self on over
Get a little closer you can play my radio
Put your pretty pink toes on the dash
Lean your seat back
Man I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that
Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do
I wanna take a little ride with you
Take a little ride with you
I wanna take a little ride with you
The lyrics of Jason Aldean's "Take a Little Ride" paint the picture of two people who just want to enjoy each other's company and the beauty of nature. The song touches upon the simple pleasures of life – such as bailing hay, stacking it up, and waiting for the sun to set so they can head into town. The singer plans to take his girl out and ride his Chevy truck along a little backroad, with his lady by his side, leaning on the seat back, putting her toes on the dash, and enjoying the simple yet sweet moments of life.
The song portrays a heartland romance, where the lovers can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse themselves in their peaceful surroundings. The mention of "frayed out cut-offs", "moonlight", "corn grow", and "tailgate down" reinforces the theme of a countryside romance. The lyrics capture the essence of ingrained values that make the heartland people who they are.
The song is a classic example of Aldean's signature sound, which blends traditional country music with rock elements. It became a huge hit during the summer of 2012 and catapulted Aldean's career even further. Its upbeat rhythm and catchy chorus make it one of his most popular songs to date. "Take a Little Ride" is a celebration of love, life, freedom, and fun – the hallmarks of country culture.

Been goin' round and round all day
After working hard all day bailing hay and stacking it, I'm ready for a break
Can't wait for the sun to go down
Looking forward to the evening to come
Roll into town, shine the old truck up
Heading into town with my freshly cleaned truck
Swing by the quick stop
Stopping by a convenience store for provisions
Grab a couple Rocky Tops
Buying some beer called Rocky Top
Then ease on out your way
Heading over to your place
To your place around 8 o'clock
Planning on arriving at your place around 8 PM
Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy
Excited to hop in my Chevrolet and drive
Ride this Chevy down a little backroad
Traveling down a quiet road with my Chevy
Slide your pretty little self on over
Asking you to scoot closer to me on the seat
Get a little closer, turn up the radio
Bumping up the volume and getting cozy
Put your pretty pink toes on the dash
Encouraging you to kick your shoes off and prop your feet up on the dashboard
Lean your seat back
Adjusting the seat to be more comfortable and relaxed
Man I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that
Admiring your feet on the dash and the scenery around us
Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do
Enjoying your beauty and carefree attitude
I wanna take a little ride with you
Asking you to come along for a relaxing drive
I hope you're wearing those frayed out cut-offs
Expressing a desire to see you in your worn-out shorts
Makes me want to get lost out in the moonlight
Feeling a romantic urge while gazing at the moonlit sky
Drop the tailgate down on a turn road
Opening the back of the truck to enjoy the night air
Watch the corn grow, baby that's a good night
Finding joy in the simple pleasures of life, like watching corn grow
Anyone from the heartland is gonna understand
Knowing that people from rural areas will relate to my experience
What I'm talking about right now
Referring to the laid-back, country lifestyle
Ain't no doubt, we got a game plan
Having a plan to enjoy a relaxing night together
Get a little closer you can play my radio
Encouraging you to get even closer and take control of the music
I wanna take a little ride with you
Repeating the desire to share a drive with you
Take a little ride with you
Inviting you to go for a drive with me

Reminds me of being a 17 year old. Driving my 1979 custom deluxe Hawaii Blue Chevy pickup truck. Playing bumper tag, doing donuts, hanging out with friends, just being a kid. We had a ball.

Awesome song. It reminds me of my fond childhood memories. 4 wheeling, mudding, pickup trucks and dancing my ass off in the front seat with my bare feet on the dashboard or out the window! Good times!
