Got Mud
Neal McCoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Small town with big toys
Call us fools or call us brave
On rainy nights, we parade
In four wheel drives, the girls in jeans too tight
Ain't no drive dirt, there ain't no dust
Got mud, no fear, Bocephus, cold beer
We don't like paved streets, asphalt or concrete
Got mud, yeah, we got mud
We spend days at the lake
Kickin' back an' soakin' rays
Sunburn, it ain't no fun
I'd trade a day in the sun for a good downpour
That's what we're prayin' for
We know every time it rains on us
Got mud, no fear, Bocephus, cold beer
We bounce, we slide, we sing while we ride
We don't like paved streets, asphalt or concrete
Got mud; we got mud
Whoo, who's playin' that thing?
A good downpour
That's what we're prayin' for
We know every time it rains on us
We got mud, no fear
(No fear)
Bocephus, cold beer
We bounce, we slide
(We slide)
We sing while we ride
We don't like paved streets, asphalt or concrete
We got mud, no fear, Bocephus, cold beer
We bounce, we slide, we sing while we ride
We don't like paved streets, asphalt or concrete
Got mud, we got mud
Mmm, got mud
Yeah, we got mud
(Got mud no fear)
(Got mud no fear)
I like to get dirty, you know what I mean
(Got mud no fear)
We got mud
