    (Na na na na na na na)

    You ever wondered why country songs say the same old thing,
    Like a broken record skipping down on Main,
    Pretty girls, pickups and cut-off jeans?
    You know what I mean

    Dirt roads, corn rows and homemade wine
    Juke joints, jumping on the county line
    Heard 'em singing 'bout it a million times
    But I don't mind

    As long as there's a small town and a Saturday night
    Blue jean babies in the full moonlight
    Tip back your Dixie, howl at the stars
    Every time you hear that sly guitar
    And your baby's on the tailgate
    And you're stealing those kisses to a little George Strait
    That's how we're rocking, that's how we roll
    As long as there's country on the radio

    (Na na na na na na na)
    (Na na na na na na na)

    There's always gonna be a party out in the pines
    Always gonna be a shot up highway sign
    Paper sack full of beer and a jar of shine
    From time to time

    There's always gonna be people trying to run us down
    Saying we ain't got nothing on a big town
    I bet they'd come around
    If they came on down

    As long as there's a small town and a Saturday night
    Blue jean babies in the full moonlight
    Tip back your Dixie, howl at the stars
    Every time you hear that sly guitar
    And your baby's on the tailgate
    And you're stealing those kisses to a little George Strait
    That's how we're rocking, that's how we roll
    As long as there's country on the radio

    There's always gonna be a part of me
    Kicking back in B-F-E
    Yea, that's how it's always gonna be

    As long as there's a small town and a Saturday night
    Blue jean babies in the full moonlight
    Tip back your Dixie, howl at the stars
    Every time you hear that sly guitar
    And your baby's on the tailgate
    And you're stealing those kisses to a little George Strait
    That's how we're rocking, that's how we roll
    As long as there's country on the radio

    (Na na na na na na na)
    Some country on the radio
    (Na na na na na na na)
    As long as there's a small town
    (Na na na na na na na)
    Hmm Saturday nights
    (Na na na na na na na)
    Blue jean babies
    (Na na na na na na na)
    Yeah, tip back your Dixie
    (Na na na na na na na) Stealing those kisses Writer/s: CHRIS TOMPKINS, CRAIG WISEMAN, RODNEY CLAWSON
