We gonna turn this town to ashes

Ain't heard loud till we turn it up

You got the crazy
D
You know that's why I love you baby

Cause your motor runs just as fast as mine

Pedal to the metal, keep your throttle down all night

People talk girl
You know damn well

When they got a good tale to tell
A
Let's give them something they ain't never seen
E
A little rated R redneck dream

Let's blaze a trail through the dirty south

Or give them something they can talk about

A little story that they won't forget
E
Long after we ride off into the sunset
