More Trucks Than Cars

  • Out here on the backside of that city limit sign where the world turns two lanes
    Pretty girl working at the bank and the fella toppin’ off your tank knows your name
    Water tower, power lines, swimming holes rusty old RC cola sign
    And county fairs, raise your hands up if you’ve been there

    Where there’s biscuits, grits and gravy and the waitress calls you baby
    And the starlight’s like a streetlight on a summer night.
    We say hell ya and amen, yeehaw, and y’all come back again
    And pray that our boys come home alive
    And when Old Glory flies, we still hold our hands over our hearts
    Where there’s more trucks than cars.

    Well, I’ve been there on the concrete of them big city streets
    In my Ford truck, traffic jam in the town square
    Told my buddies living up there, good luck
    Meanwhile back in Tennessee we’re raising our babies and our own green beans
    Kicking up dust, come on down when you had enough

    Where there’s biscuits, grits and gravy and the waitress calls you baby
    And the starlight’s like a streetlight on a summer night.
    We say hell ya and amen, yeehaw, and y’all come back again
    And pray that our boys come home alive
    And when Old Glory flies, we still hold our hands over our hearts
    Where there’s more trucks than cars.

    Where there’s biscuits, grits and gravy, your pretty waitress calls you baby
    And the starlight’s like a streetlight on a summer night.
    We say hell ya and amen, yeehaw, and y’all come back again
    And pray that our boys come home alive
    And when Old Glory flies, we still hold our hands over our hearts
    Where there’s more trucks than cars.
    Where there’s more trucks than cars. Writer/s: CRAIG MICHAEL WISEMAN, CRAIG MORGAN, CRAIG WISEMAN, PHILIP EUGENE O'DONNELL
