Fowler put together a country band in 1998 and began playing Tuesday nights at Babe's on Sixth Street in Austin. Within two years, he'd begun recording albums and struck big with his self-released Beer, Bait and Ammo (2000). The album sold around 30,000 copies in the Texas area and garnered an impressive amount of airplay, particularly for the album's title track. The song became somewhat of a Texas anthem; Mark Chesnutt made the song part of his live show, and Sammy Kershaw recorded it. Fowler returned in 2002 with his third album, High on the Hog, and boasted some impressive guests, including Willie Nelson and David Lee Garza.
Girl In A Truck
Kevin Fowler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yea the sweetest thing I've ever known
Daddy's little girl, but she could run with the boys
Gotta tell ya she could hold her own
Pretty as peach, tough as a boot
She's country down to the core
Little crazy, little sweet
ain't nothin' that can beat a little lady in a jacked- up Ford
I like a girl in a truck a big four wheel drive
Stereo blaring playing "Country Boy can Survive"
She's down home, home-grown
Gets her diesel wound up and she'll be long gone
Got her old boots on, new straw hat
Any red-blooded country boy's gotta love that
Some guys like a gal that's all dolled up
Uh huh, not me, I like a girl in a truck
She's got mud on the tires and doggie in the back
Case of cold beer on ice
Some guys don't get it, she's a little hard-headed
A little naughty and a little nice
I like a girl in a truck a big four wheel drive
Stereo blaring playing "Country Boy can Survive"
She's down home, home-grown
Gets her diesel wound up and she'll be long gone
Got her old boots on, new straw hat
Any red-blooded country boy's gotta love that
Some guys like a gal that's all dolled up
Uh huh, not me, I like a girl in a truck
She drives by, that's all I see
In a cloud of dust, In this Cowboy's dream
I like a girl in a truck a big four wheel drive
Stereo blaring playing "Country Boy can Survive"
She's down home, home-grown
Gets her diesel wound up and she'll be long gone
Got her old boots on, new straw hat
Any red-blooded country boy's gotta love that
Some guys like a gal that's all dolled up
Uh huh, not me,
I like a girl in a truck, a big four wheel drive
Stereo blaring playing "Country Boy can Survive"
She's down home, home-grown
Gets her diesel wound up and she'll be long gone
Got her old boots on, new straw hat
Any red-blooded country boy's gotta love that
Some guys like a gal that's all dolled up
Uh huh, not me, I like a girl in a truck
Not me I like a girl in a truck
The song "Girl in a Truck" by Kevin Fowler is a tribute to a tough and sweet girl who grew up on a farm in South Alabama. The singer describes her as a beautiful and strong woman who can run with the boys and drive a big four-wheel drive truck. She is a country girl through and through, with a little bit of wildness and sweetness to her.
The singer praises the girl's definition of beauty, which goes beyond the conventional, and admires her for being herself. He likes the way she throws on a new straw hat and an old pair of boots, and how she can get her diesel wound up and be long gone.

Overall, the song celebrates the beauty and strength of a girl who grew up in the country and knows how to drive a truck. It is a catchy and upbeat anthem that celebrates the simple things in life and the appreciation of beauty that exists beyond the superficial.
