  • There's a Tennessee two lane sky
    Shakes the Broadway bars at night
    Makes you wanna get a little too close
    To her Cali girl watchin' windshield satellites
    It's a soundtrack to our lives
    It's the only reason why
    A kid from Carolina would drive to Nashville
    To chase a dream without a dime

    It's why we drink too much on Friday nights
    Raise our hand in the neon lights
    Sweet Home Alabama and a Ring of Fire
    I could sing along 'til the day I die
    Why we break up, fall back in love
    Why we roll around in the bed of a truck
    Why we all stop when we hear that one
    And she whispers, "Turn it up"

    And for a second we're bulletproof
    We get lost in a song or two
    The world don't move, and all I need is you
    And three chords and the truth

    I see you blinkin' through your blue eyes
    How a song can turn back time
    You can almost feel the sand on your feet
    From the passenger seat
    Singin' anything but mine
    And don't you know that we were raised on the radio?

    It's why we drink too much on Friday nights
    Raise our hand in the neon lights
    Copperhead Road and Mama Tried
    I could sing along 'til the day I die
    Why we break up, fall back in love
    Why we roll around in the bed of a truck
    Why we all stop when we hear that one
    And she whispers, "Turn it up"

    And for a second we're bulletproof
    We get lost in a song or two
    The world don't move, and all I need is you
    And three chords and the truth

    It's Muscle Shoals to rock n' roll
    It's a steel guitar that steals your soul
    It's a country song that takes you home again

    It's why we drink too much on Friday nights
    Raise our hand in church pew aisles
    Amazing Grace, Sweet By and By
    I could sing along 'til the day I die
    Why we break up, fall back in love
    Why we roll around in the bed of a truck
    Why we all stop when we hear that one
    And she whispers, "Turn it up"

    And for a second we're bulletproof
    We get lost in a song or two
    The world don't move, and all I need is you
    And three chords and the truth Writer/s: Chase Rice, Jon Nite, Ross Copperman
