Signed to DreamWorks Records Nashville in 1998, Keith released his breakthrough single "How Do You Like Me Now?!" in late 1999. This song, the title track to his 1999 album of the same name, was the #1 country song of 2000, and one of several chart-toppers during his tenure on DreamWorks Nashville. His next three albums, Pull My Chain, Unleashed, and Shock'n Y'all, produced three more #1's each, and all of the albums were certified 4× Platinum. A second Greatest Hits package followed in 2004, and after that, he released Honkytonk University.
When DreamWorks closed in 2005, Keith founded the label Show Dog Nashville, which merged with Universal South Records to become Show Dog-Universal Music in December 2009. He has released ten studio albums through Show Dog/Show Dog-Universal: 2006's White Trash with Money, 2007's Big Dog Daddy, 2008's That Don't Make Me a Bad Guy, 2009's American Ride, 2010's Bullets in the Gun, 2011's Clancy's Tavern, 2012's Hope on the Rocks, 2013's Drinks After Work, 2015's 35 MPH Town, 2017's The Bus Songs, and 2021's Peso in My Pocket, as well as the compilation 35 Biggest Hits in 2008. Keith also made his acting debut in 2006, starring in the film Broken Bridges, and co-starred with comedian Rodney Carrington in the 2008 film Beer for My Horses, inspired by his song of the same name. On February 5th, 2024, Toby passed away from a 3 year battle with Stomach Cancer.
Get Out Of My Car
Toby Keith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my whiskey is all gone
I am sitting here
Ready to get it on
You got me thinking you won't
You got me thinking you might
And it is 3 o'clock in the morning
And I cannot beat around the bush all night
We have already kissed
(We have already kissed)
We have already danced
(We have already danced)
And you are wondering if you ought to put on your shoes
Or pull down your pants
(Come on, pull down your pants)
Honey, what would it hurt?
Take off that shirt
Babe, we have already come this far
Get out of your clothes
Or get out of my car
Whichever you choose
I am ready to go
I could take you to the house, baby
Or I can drive it on home
Now we can do it right here
Or do it some place else
But make up your mind
And do something quick
Or I am gonna do it myself
We have already kissed
(We have already kissed)
We have already danced
(We have already danced)
And you are wondering if you ought to put on your shoes
Or pull down your pants
(Come on, pull down your pants)
Honey, what would it hurt?
Take off that shirt
Babe, we have already come this far
Get out of your clothes
Or get out of my car
Now we're going drive around, let you think about it, dear girl, don't you?
We have already kissed
(We have already kissed)
We have already danced
(We have already danced)
And you are wondering if you ought to put on my pants
Or pull down my pants
(Come on, pull down my pants)
Honey, what would it hurt?
Take off my shirt
Babe, we have already come this far
Get out of your clothes
Or get out of my car (get out of my car)
I got out of my clothes
She got out of my car
Bye bye honey, I'm gon' call your sister next time
Thanks for the hamburger
We have already kissed
(We have already kissed)
We have already danced
(We have already danced)
And you are wondering if you ought to put on your shoes
Or pull down your pants
(Come on, pull down your pants)
Honey, what would it hurt?
Take off that shirt
Babe, we have already come this far
Get out of your clothes
Or get out of my car
I got out of my clothes
She got out of my car
(I can't believe she did, oh yeah)
Way to go
Toby Keith's "Get Out Of My Car" is a humorous and suggestive song about a man trying to convince a woman to have sex with him. The lyrics describe a scene in which the woman has been drinking his beer and whiskey, leading the man to believe that she may be interested in sleeping with him. He begins to make advances towards her, suggesting that they can do it in his car or drive to his house. The chorus has an insistent tone, with the man essentially telling the woman to either get naked or get out of his car. The song's playful and confident tone suggests that the man is not necessarily serious about having sex, but enjoys the flirtatious banter with the woman.
At the same time, the lyrics play into some of the more problematic elements of male-female interactions, particularly around power dynamics and consent. The man's repeated insistence that the woman either have sex with him or leave his car could be interpreted as coercive or manipulative. Additionally, the line "I'm gonna do it myself" could be seen as a threat of violence, although within the context of the song it is clearly meant to be humorous.
Overall, "Get Out Of My Car" is a catchy and entertaining song that is typical of Toby Keith's brand of country music. However, its lyrics should be approached with a critical eye to fully understand the underlying messages it conveys.

I like your banjo in there
I appreciate the music you have playing in your car
Girl, you drank all my beer
You consumed all of the beer I had
And the whiskey's all gone
Additionally, there is no whiskey left
I'm sittin' here
I am currently seated
Ready to get it on
I am ready to engage in sexual activity
You got me thinkin' you won't
I am uncertain if you will agree to have sex with me
You got me thinkin' you might
However, there is a possibility that you may agree to it
And it's 3 o'clock in the mornin'
It is currently three in the morning
And I can't beat around the bush all night
I cannot wait any longer, we need to make a decision
We've already kissed
We have already shared a kiss
We've already danced
We have already danced together
You're wonderin' if
You are unsure if you should:
You ought to put on your shoes
Leave my vehicle and put on your shoes OR
Or pull down your pants
Stay with me and engage in sexual activity
What would it hurt?
I am questioning why you are hesitant
Pull off that shirt
Remove your shirt
Babe, we've already come this far
We have already gone too far to stop now
Get out of your clothes
Undress yourself
Or get out of my car
Either proceed with sexual activity, or leave
Whichever you choose
Either decision is acceptable
I'm ready to go
I am prepared to engage in sexual activity
I could take you to the house, baby
We could go back to my place
Or I can drive it on home
Alternatively, I could drop you off at your house
We can do it right here
We can engage in sexual activity in my car
Or do it somewhere else
Alternatively, we can find another location to have sex
But make up your mind
Please decide quickly
Do something quick
Make a decision soon
Or I'm gonna do it myself
Otherwise, I will initiate sexual activity on my own
We're gonna drive around a little while then
We will drive for a bit
Let's do it over here in the middle, babe
We can have sex in this location
Hey, what would it hurt?
Why hesitate?
Take off that shirt
Please remove your shirt
I got out of my clothes
I undressed
She got out of my car
My partner left my vehicle
What's up, babe?
How are you doing?
Bye, bye, boredom
I am leaving this dull situation behind
Strike 3
This is the final straw or warning
