[Verse 1]
Pulled off where the grass runs tall
Chrome got mud on the quarter panel
She said, "You got room?"
I said, "Girl, climb up"
Boots on the gate, then a little more
She swung one leg over slow
Hair in the wind like a flag in August
Radio low, but the whole night loud
She smiled at me like trouble found me
[Pre-Chorus]
Down that road
No porch light
Just you and me
And that tailgate shine
Hold my hand
Then let it go
When the bass line hits
We both say, "Go"
[Chorus]
Backroad party, backroad party
Pretty little thing in the truck bed, starting
Backroad party, backroad party
Spin that song and keep it going, darling
(backroad party)
(backroad party)
[Verse 2]
She danced on steel with her arms up high
Kicked red dust off the bedliner paint
I kept one eye on the road ahead
One on her laugh, one on the way she swayed
Cold drink sweating in a paper cup
Her friends rolled up in a rusted ride
We passed that bottle, passed that grin
And the whole field lit from the inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Down that road
No porch light
Just you and me
And that tailgate shine
Hold my hand
Then let it go
When the bass line hits
We both say, "Go"
[Chorus]
Backroad party, backroad party
Pretty little thing in the truck bed, starting
Backroad party, backroad party
Spin that song and keep it going, darling
(backroad party)
(backroad party)
[Bridge]
If the stars fall low
Let them fall on us
If the world rolls by
We don't need much
Just your hand in mine
And that same old sound
With the night so wide
And the moon on the ground
[Chorus]
Backroad party, backroad party
Pretty little thing in the truck bed, starting
Backroad party, backroad party
Spin that song and keep it going, darling
(backroad party)
(backroad party)
