Tailgate Till Sunrise

[Intro]
[low vocal register]Kick dust up
Windows down
Two lanes
Small town
[Verse 1]
He’s got a ball cap turned
Mud on his boots
Cooler in the back
Tailgate truth
She’s laughin’ in the mirror
Bare feet on the dash
I’m thinkin’ ’bout tonight
Tryna make it last
[Chorus]
We just
Tailgate till sunrise
Hands up to that big sky
Speakers on a backroad, wild and loud
Cold cans in the moonlight
Her smile hittin’ just right
Livin’ like we can’t come down
Yeah, we’re
All gas, no slowin’ down
Hometown kings of this county crown
[Verse 2]
[rap, Male 2]
Yeah, we roll up late, dust halo (skrrt)
Farm road feel like a halo
Red cup lean in the payload
Little tan girl in a flannel, say “let’s go”
Bonfire tall like a church steeple
Bass hit deep, all my kind of people
Truck bed stage, I’m the late-night preacher
Whole crowd singin’ like a Sunday feature (woah)
Longneck lip-print, lipstick smear
Been chasin’ that grin since senior year
If the law ride past, they can ride on by
We just raisin’ up hearts, not trouble tonight
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Male 1, half-sung]
Two hearts dancin’ in a truck bed
Her hair all tangled in my old sweatshirt
She says, “Boy, you better not forget
These nights when nothin’ hurts”
[Rap Breakdown]
[rap, Male 2]
Okay, okay
One time for the boys in the four-by-fours
Two times for the girls on the dirt dance floor
Three shots in and they beggin’ for more
Country in my veins, that’s what this for
Got cornfield confetti when the tires spin out
Whole crew so loud they can hear us in town
If life too short, we gon’ stretch this night
Turn the key, hit the gas, let it all feel right
[call-and-response]
You say “truck” (truck!)
I say “ride” (ride!)
You say “party” (party!)
We say “all night!”
[Chorus]
[Chorus]

rap, Modern country-party anthem with male vocals trading off: twangy acoustic and banjo over big stomp-clap drums and bright electric guitars. Singer 1 carries rowdy, melodic choruses; Singer 2 drops swaggering rap verses with tight rhythmic phrasing and hype ad-libs. Rap breakdown strips back to kick, bass, and handclaps before a full-band, shout-along final chorus with stacked gang vocals and crowd noise., country
