Pedal To The Floor

ABOUT THIS SONG
Friday night on the dirt roads. Four wheel drive, windows down, nowhere to be.
LYRICS
Riding high in my red Chevy truck Jacked up, lift crossbars looking tough Floodlights blazing down these dirt roads Up on Highway 69, you hear the bass in my radio I got a call from the boys saying, "Where you at?" He said, "I'm ten minutes out, better clear me a path" Friday night started with nowhere to go Then we all turned off the blacktop road Ain't nothing like these country roads Where you never meet a stranger It's a small-town code Floodlights blazing down Hog Jaw Road If I'm driving too fast, then you're too damn old Yeah, I'm a country boy and I can survive Alabama nights in a four-wheel drive Got my windows down, always room for more With dirt on the wheels, pedal to the floor Boots on the ground, dust in the air Truck beds full and we just don't care Arab nights, hometown pride Young at heart and feeling alive Week's been long, but it's a Friday night Cold brews, close friends, feeling just right From dusk till dawn like it's '95 Knobby tires grip on this four-wheel drive Ain't nothing like these country roads Where you never meet a stranger It's a small-town code Got my floodlights blazing down Hog Jaw Road If I'm driving too fast, then you're too damn old Yeah, I'm a country boy and I can survive Alabama nights in a four-wheel drive Got my windows down, always room for more With dirt on the wheels, pedal to the floor Got a blue-eyed beauty sitting by my side Head to Charburger Grill, grab a shake and small fry Gonna get some bait from Pier 69 Guntersville Lake, where we cast our line Ain't nothing like these country roads Where you never meet a stranger It's a small-town code Got my floodlights blazing down Hog Jaw Road If I'm driving too fast, then you're too damn old Yeah, I'm a country boy and I can survive Alabama nights in a four-wheel drive Got my windows down, always room for more With dirt on the wheels, pedal to the floor Dirt on the wheels, pedal to the floor
