[Verse 1]
Windows down
Cheap gas
Rich laughs
Three deep in that rusted S-10 cab
Dust in the vents
Tape on the dash
You said
"Man
This thing’s one good cough from trash"
I play it cool
Say
"She runs just fine"
You roll your eyes at another tall tale line
"You’re such a liar"
You poke my side
Then Jay hits the brakes and his eyes go wide
[Chorus]
'Cause his truck’s on fire
Oh man
Flames in the rearview climbing higher
Oh man
We’re talkin’ junk about my broke-down ride
'Til smoke starts pouring from the polished side
Must be an electrical wire
Oh man
We’re laughing while the sparks shoot higher
Oh man
Guess the joke backfired
Truck on fire
[Verse 2]
Jay jumps out
Patting at smoke
We’re half concerned and half about to choke
From laughing hard
On the gravel shoulder
Watching his brand-new pride smolder
I grab a bottle
Splash that bed
You’re doubled over
Tears running as you said
"Guess you weren’t the liar tonight"
While his fancy chrome’s glowing bright
[Chorus]
'Cause his truck’s on fire
Oh man
Flames in the rearview climbing higher
Oh man
We’re talkin’ junk about my broke-down ride
'Til smoke starts pouring from the polished side
Must be an electrical wire
Oh man
We’re laughing while the sparks shoot higher
Oh man
Guess the joke backfired
Truck on fire
[Bridge]
Headlights on the shoulder (hey!)
Strangers slowing down
We wave them on and wobble
Bent over on the ground
Who knew the old S-10
Would be the one that survived
Sometimes the prettiest paint
Hides the wildest live wire
[Chorus]
Now his truck’s on fire
Oh man
Flames in the rearview climbing higher
Oh man
We’re talkin’ junk about my broke-down ride
But look who’s walking on the roadside
Must be an electrical wire
Oh man
We’re screaming as the sparks shoot higher
Oh man
Truth comes out in smoke and tires
Truck on fire
