Baby, you a song You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise (Let's go!) I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up What up Nelly, alright I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up Yeah, when I first saw that bikini top on her She's poppin' right out of the South Georgia water Thought, "Oh, good Lord, she had them long tanned legs." Couldn't help myself so I walked up and said, Baby, you a song You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle Every little farm town with you And this brand new Chevy with a lift kit Would look a hell of a lot better with you up in it (come on) So, baby, you a song You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up Yeah, she was sippin' on Southern and singin' Marshall Tucker We were falling in love in the sweet heart of summer She hopped right up into the cab of my truck And said, "Fire it up! Let's go get this thing stuck!" Baby, you a song You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle Every little farm town with you And this brand new Chevy with a lift kit Would look a hell of a lot better with you up in it (come on) So, baby, you a song You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise My windows down, my seats back, My music up, and we ride. Her legs up on my dashboard, And it's just the way I like. Hey, country girl, this country boy Like everything about you. Don't change a thing, no way. You stay the same, I got you. I like saw that, all that, Head to toe you all that. Tell ol' boy he call back, Send a text say, "Fall back" 'cause I can see you got a thing for the fast life. So come on, shawty, let me show you what the fast like. Whipping 'cross the border, Florida into Georgia. 'Cause, baby, you a song And you make me wanna roll my, roll my, roll my, r-r-r-roll Baby, you a song You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise Down a back road blowing stop signs through the middle Every little farm town with you And this brand new Chevy with a lift kit Would look a hell of a lot better with you up in it (come on)! Baby, you a song You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up Get those windows down and cruise, I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up Get those windows down and cruise, I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up
