Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
We got country girls, they like country things
Can I get an amen if you know what I mean?
Yeah, we drivin' tractors and boats that we call jon
Bfe or backwards, call it what you want
We work hard, play hard, if we need rain, we pray
Holler if you out this way

You gonna hear some "Go Bulldogs," yellin' at the TV
Any given Saturday, anywhere you go
Gonna have to pull off, stop and hit the BP
Grab a bunch of cans 'cause you already know
There's gon' be some buddies, they'll be drinkin' beer
That's a guaran-damn-tee when you livin' 'round here
Yeah, that's how it is and how it's gon' stay
It's a way of life when you out this way, way out this way
Way out this way

Yeah, I'm talkin' dirt roads, work clothes
Same ones as them church clothes
Ain't nobody judgin' nobody
When it comes to ridin' 'round, hangin' out
Throwin' down, gettin' loud
Man, it ain't no hobby

You gonna hear some "Go Bulldogs," yellin' at the TV
Any given Saturday, anywhere you go
Gonna have to pull off, stop and hit the BP
