Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boys like trucks like trucks like dirt
Like dirt likes boots like boots like work
Like a five o'clock Friday
Likes a two-week payday
Like the windows rolled down like
A little gas money
Like alpine speakers like to play a
Little country

And girls like to turn it up and that's why

Boys like trucks with a bench seat
With your hand on my knee
Down a two lane road, goin' nice and slow
Rollin' like a summer night breeze
Wouldn't hate it if we got stuck
Hey, we could with some good luck
I'd be alright if we just sat tight

Yeah, boys likе trucks like trucks like dirt
Like dirt likеs boots like boots like work
Like a five o'clock Friday
Likes a two-week payday
Like the windows rolled down like
A little gas money
Like alpine speakers like to
Play a little country
And girls like to turn it up and that's why
Boys like trucks

Yeah, they do
Oh yeah, I like ridin' around with you

Boys like trucks like trucks like dirt
Like dirt likes boots like boots like work
Like a five o'clock Friday
Likes a two-week payday
Like the windows rolled down likes
A little gas money
Like alpine speakers like to
Play a little country and girls like
(Girls like) to turn it up (To
Turn it up) and that's why
Boys like trucks (Boys like trucks)
Oh yeah (Boys like trucks) and girls like
(Girls like) to turn it up (To turn it
Up) and that's why (And that's why)

Boys like trucks're lookin like
A million bucks
