`74 Ford truck, rusted out an` beat up.
Fire-engine red, been a part of the family for years.
I was sixteen, it was my turn.
Four on the floor an` I had learn,
So my brother took me out to teach me how to shift those gears.
With a tear in his eye, he handed me the keys.
Says: "Truck`s got quite a history.
"Over the years it`s been really good to me."
"There`s been a lotta tail on the tailgate,
"Bumpin` on the bumper,
"Steam on the windows: ain`t no wonder,
"There`s dents in the hoods, an` the shocks ain`t good.
"Swingin` from the rollbars, dancin` in the bed:
"I seen a bunch of gorgeous country corn-fed,
"Girls an` a few other things I can`t say:
"There`s been a lotta tail on the tailgate,
"Oh, that`s right, oh."
Got a grille guard, foglights.
Custom paint an` every Friday night,
I`m trollin` down Main Street showin` off the new chrome wheels.
We take a rough ride (Rough ride.)
Down a dirt road (Down a dirt road.)
To my Grandaddy`s farm an` we unload,
An` drove, the doors wide open an` crank up the stero.
It`s better than a club or a honky-tonk,
An` we can hang out just as long as we want.
I think I undertsand what my brother was talkin` about.
`Cause there`s a lotta tail on the tailgate,
Bumpin` on the bumper,
Steam on the windows, ain`t no wonder,
There`s dents in the hood an` the shocks ain`t good.
Swingin` from the rollbars, dancin` in the bed,
There`s a bunch of gorgeous country corn-fed,
Girls an` a few other things I can`t say:
There`s a lotta tail on the tailgate:
Whoo, that`s right.
(Oh, show `em what you got. baby.
(Whoo, hah, let it go boys.)
There`s a lotta tail on the tailgate,
Bumpin` on the bumper,
Steam on the windows: ain`t no wonder,
There`s dents in the hood an` the shocks ain`t good.
Swingin` from the rollbars, dancin` in the bed:
There`s a bunch of gorgeous country corn-fed,
Girls an` a few other things I can`t say:
There`s been a lotta tail on the tailgate:
Whoo, yeah, baby.
That ain`t what you`re thinkin`.
Oh, now some of y`all take that out of your minds.
It ain`t that.
That`s where people sit!
Hello, do I have to explain it to you?
You think it`s way down in the gutter.
Oh yeah. Send " Tail On The Tailgate" Ringtone to your Cell
