Lyrics

I crank this old Suburban on the weekends
'Cause I can't afford to drive it all week long
I coulda sold it fifteen times now to my best friend
But I'm the kinda guy that just hangs on
If you slide up in that seat and tell me, "I'm ready to go"
And you turn that dial and click on that cassette deck radio
The song's always gonna be country
And the backroad's always gonna be Highway 17
And a good time's always where this truck is heading to
And the girl is always gonna be you
Yeah, the girl is always gonna be you
You knew I was stubborn when you met me
And there's some things that I just won't give up
You were the first one to ever really get me
And the last to ever make me fall in love
When you slide up in that seat and tell me you're ready to go
And you shoot me that sweet smile 'cause, baby, you already know
The song's always gonna be country
And the backroad's always gonna be Highway 17
And a good time's always where this truck is heading to
And the girl is always gonna be you
Yeah, the girl is always gonna be you
You with the faded blue jeans
You with the silver earrings
You singing every word to "Good Ole Boys Like Me," yeah
The song's always gonna be country
And the backroad's always gonna be Highway 17
And a good time's always where this truck is heading to
And the girl is always gonna be you
Yeah, the girl is always gonna be you
(Always gonna be you)
(Always gonna be you)
You (Always gonna be you)
(Always gonna be you)
It's always gonna be you (Always gonna be you)
Yeah (Always gonna be you)
(Always gonna be you)
(Always gonna be you)
