Nothing To Lose
Josh Gracin Lyrics

It was noon time, down time, break time
The singer is describing a relaxed, lazy afternoon where he has nothing pressing to do.

Summertime, Miller Time, anytime

She was looking pretty fine

A red light, green light, go

All fired upside downtown

She was shaking me all around

Jonesing, drooling, feeling good, if you would

Oh yeah, by the way she moves

She's got me rolling in dirt in a white t-shirt

Breaker Breaker 1-9 she's a big ol' flirt

By now she's got me pretty tied up

Tied down, any way I chose

I got nothin' to lose

Now I'm in the fast lane going 98

By now I know she can smooth operate me
