Three Chords & the Truth

Their's a Tennessee two lane sky Shakes the Broadway bars at night Makes you wanna get a little too close To her galley girl watch your windshield satellites It's a soundtrack to our lives It's the only reason why A kid from Carolina would drive to Nashville to chase a dream Without a dime

It's why we drink too much on Friday nights Raise our hand in the neon lights Sweet Home Alabama and Ring of Fire I could sing along til the day I die Why we break and fall back in love Why we roll around in a bed of a truck Why we all stop when we hear that one and she whispers turn it up For a second we're bulletproof We get lost in a song or two The world don't move all I need is you Three chords and the truth

I see you blinking through your blue eyes How a song can turn back time You can almost feel the sand on your feet From the passenger seat Singing anything about Don't you know we were raised on the radio

It's why we drink too much on Friday nights Raise our hand in the neon lights Copperhead Road and Mamma tried I could sing along til the day I die Why we break and fall back in love Why we roll around in a bed of a truck Why we all stop when we hear that one and she whispers turn it up For a second we're bulletproof We get lost in a song or two The world don't move all I need is you Three chords and the truth

It's muscle shows to rock n' roll It's a steel guitar that steals your soul It's a country song that takes you home again

It's why we drink too much on Friday nights Raise our hand and church pew aisles Amazing Grace and In Sweet By and By I could sing along til the day I die Why we break and fall back in love Why we roll around in a bed of a truck Why we all stop when we hear that one and she whispers turn it up For a second we're bulletproof Get lost in a song or two The world don't move all I need is you Three chords and the truth
