In 2005, Glenn and the band he formed won a Battle Of The Bands competition on the island of Maui. With numerous performances already under his belt, Glenn formed Maoli in early 2008 with a new lineup of talented musicians. This Fall marks the release of Maoli's full-length debut album entitled, Groovin, on Pacific Island Records. The album's lead single, No One, is already receiving airplay statewide and is gaining popularity on island music airwaves. Other standout tracks from Maoli include the heartfelt Write Me A Letter, a song about missing a loved one, featuring Malino’s Braddah Vince and the uptempo, Groovin’, featuring the sweet vocal sounds of Piilani Arias.
Mud On The Tires
Maoli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The bank finally came through
And I'm holdin' the keys to a brand new Chevrolet
Have you been outside, it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive
Down by the lake?
There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
Come on now what do you say
Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires
'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shore line
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere, only one way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires
Moonlight on a duck blind
Catfish on a trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year
We can throw a blanket down
Crickets singin' in the background
And more stars that you can count on a night this clear
I tell you what we need to do
Is grab a sleepin' bag or two
And build us a little campfire
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires
'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shore line
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere, only one way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

I've got some big news
I have exciting information to share
The bank finally came through
The bank has approved my loan
And I'm holdin' the keys to a brand new Chevrolet
I have acquired a new Chevrolet car
Have you been outside, it sure is a nice night
Have you experienced the pleasant weather outside?
How about a little test drive
Why not try driving the car?
Down by the lake?
Near the lake?
There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
I am aware of a location where the dirt road ends
And we can try out the four-wheel drive
We can test the capabilities of the four-wheel drive
Come on now what do you say
Come on, are you interested?
Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires
I am eager to experience driving through mud
'Cause it's a good night
Because the evening is pleasant
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
To enjoy the moonlight outdoors
Stake out a little piece of shore line
Claim a small section of the shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
I have an ideal location planned
It's in the middle of nowhere, only one way to get there
It is a remote spot, accessible by one route only
You got to get a little mud on the tires
You must drive through mud to reach it
Moonlight on a duck blind
Soft light shining on a concealed spot for hunting ducks
Catfish on a trot line
Catfish caught using a fishing technique called trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year
During this season, the sun sets around nine in the evening
We can throw a blanket down
We can lay down a blanket
Crickets singin' in the background
The sound of crickets creates an ambience
And more stars that you can count on a night this clear
The clear sky is filled with countless stars
I tell you what we need to do
Let me share what our plan should be
Is grab a sleeping bag or two
We should take a couple of sleeping bags
And build us a little campfire
We can create a small fire for camping
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
If we are fortunate, our car may get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires
Let's intentionally drive through mud
