[Verse 1]
Terry Rood in the F350
West side crawl, bumper to bumper
Radio loud, one hand on the wheel
Late-day sun on the windshield
He’s got that look
Like a long week burned
Every red light
Just makes him madder
[Pre-Chorus]
He taps the glass
Lets out a grin
Keeps rolling slow
Through the thick of it
[Chorus]
Terry Rood, go on home
Tell the world to leave you alone
Terry Rood, go on home
Beer in the fridge, smoke in your hand
Terry Rood, go on home
Tonight you ain’t gotta explain
[Verse 2]
Dash full of dust
Boots on the mat
A couple bad calls
He’s done with that
He shakes his head
At every horn blast
Mouths one sharp prayer
Then he laughs
[Pre-Chorus]
Green light comes
He’s back in line
One last block
Then it’s his time
[Chorus]
Terry Rood, go on home
Tell the world to leave you alone
Terry Rood, go on home
Beer in the fridge, smoke in your hand
Terry Rood, go on home
Tonight you ain’t gotta explain
[Bridge]
Keys hit the bowl
Door swings wide
Cold Budweiser waiting
On the inside
Cut the noise off
Let the porch light glow
Terry Rood made it
Now let it all go
[Final Chorus]
Terry Rood, go on home
Tell the world to leave you alone
Terry Rood, go on home
Beer in the fridge, smoke in your hand
Terry Rood, go on home
West side’s gone, and the night feels good
