Yeah
Joe Nichols Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was just another night in the hayfield
'Till she climbed down off of them four wheels, yeah, yeah
Soon as that sundress hit the headlights
Every tailgate way out there was like yeah, yeah
She started walking over to me
Like she already knew me
Sat down right beside me
And asked if I was here alone
And I said yeah, yeah
Like I was nodding right along to a song on the radio
Yeah, yeah
Girl, how could I say no?
Whatever you're drinking, that's what I'm drinking
Girl, you're calling the shots tonight
Whatever you're thinking, that's what I'm thinking
Tell me what you got in mind
So I can say yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
She brought me a cup and I tried it
A little fruity but she asked if I liked it
So I said yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Then she played me some band on her iPod
Kinda hit me kinda hippie and I thought, naw
But I said yeah, yeah, yeah
She said you wanna take a walk
To the river maybe cool off
She said I know a good spot
And then she took my hand
And I said yeah, yeah
Like I was nodding right along to a song on the radio
Yeah, yeah
Girl, how could I say no?
Whatever you're drinking, that's what I'm drinking
Girl, you're calling the shots tonight
Whatever you're thinking, that's what I'm thinking
Tell me what you got in mind
So I can say yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)

A little later under that full moon
I didn't want the night to end too soon
I said it's getting late, do you need to go?
And she said no
I was like, yeah, yeah,
Like I was nodding right along to a song on the radio
Yeah, yeah,
Girl, if you say so
Whatever you're drinking, that's what I'm drinking
Girl, you're calling the shots tonight
Whatever you're thinking, that's what I'm thinking
Tell me what you got in mind




So I can say yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)

Even a mellow Country song like this one, lifts my spirits, & gives me more energy, than most pop music songs that were made between 1998 & the present

@searleadmingal2658

Saw him last night! Great concert! This is my favorite and i am so happy he played it!!

@corylemons7242

Honestly this might be one of my top 3 country songs ever. I’ve been playing this song for like a decade now. Never gets old

@PhilipMarcYT

If this is one of your top three Country songs then that indicates your taste in quality music is lacking.
