Body Like A Back Road
Sam Hunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
First time I seen her walk by, man, I 'bout fell up out my chair
Had to get her number, it took me like six weeks
Now me and her go way back like Cadillac seats
Body like a back road, drivin' with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doin' 15 in a 30, I ain't in no hurryI'ma take it slow just as fast as I can
The way she fit in them blue jeans, she don't need no belt
But I can turn 'em inside out, I don't need no help
Got hips like honey, so thick and so sweet, man
It ain't no curves like hers on them downtown streets
Body like a back road, drivin' with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doin' 15 in a 30, I ain't in no hurry
I'ma take it slow just as fast as I can
We're out here in the boondocks with the breeze and the birds
Tangled up in the tall grass with my lips on hers
On a highway to heaven, headed south of her smile, mm
Get there when we get there, every inch is a mile
Body like a back road, drivin' with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doin' 15 in a 30, I ain't in no hurry
I'ma take it slow just as fast as I can
I'ma take it slow
Just as fast as I can
Got braids in her hair
"Body Like A Back Road" is a song by Sam Hunt, and it's a love song dedicated to a girl from the South Side who's caught his attention with her body curves. The song begins with the singer explaining the type of girl he’s into, describing her physical appearance, and how he almost fell out of his chair the first time he saw her. He goes further to say that it took him six weeks to get her number, and he's known her for a long time now. The chorus is catchy, with the phrase "body like a back road," and Sam compares the girl's body to roads that he's familiar with. The repetition of the back roads suggests that he's referring to the ways he's familiar with the curves of the girl's body.
The second verse mentions how the girl’s pants fit her so well that she doesn't even need a belt. The singer goes further to say that her hips are so thick, and it's hard to find curves like hers on the downtown streets. The bridge of the song shifts to them being in the boondocks and tangled up in the tall grass with their lips locked together. This suggests that they are secluded, and no one can interrupt their romantic moment. The chorus follows, repeating the same lyrics with an emphasis on taking everything slow but as fast as he can.
Overall, "Body Like A Back Road" is a song that celebrates a girl's body and how beautiful it is. The song is written to portray the singer's love and admiration for the girl he's with. The catchy hook and good vibe make it an appealing track to listen to.
