"Hicktown" Lyrics (Jason Aldean album)
Written By Vicky McGehee, John Rich, Big Kenny
[Spoken:] You like the way that sounds?
[Verse 1:]
Little Jimmy Jackson,
Is jackin' up{1} his Bronco{2}.
He's gonna lay a little rubber,
Later on at the truck pull{3}.
An' all the girls are gettin' pretty,
A-sprayin' on the White Rain{4}.
Yeah, they're gonna get a rowdy tonight,
Down at the football game.
Yeah!
[Chorus:]
We let it rip when we got the money.
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets a-wild, yeah, but that’s the way we get down,
A-in a hicktown.
[Verse 2:]
Well, you can see the neighbor's butt crack,
Nailin' on his shingles.
An' his woman's smokin' Pall Malls{5},
Watchin’ Laura Ingalls{6}. Ha, ha, ha.
An' Granny’s gettin' lit{7}
She’s headin’ out to bingo.
Yeah, my buddies an' me are goin' muddin'{8},
Down on Blue Hole Road.
A-you know. You know.
[Chorus:]
We let it rip when we got the money.
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets a-wild, yeah, but that’s the way we get down,
A-in a hicktown.
[Instrumental break.]
Spoken: Oh, stand on it.
[Verse 3:]
We hear folks in the city party in martini bars.
An' they like to show off in their fancy foreign cars.
Out here in the boondocks we buy beer at Amoco{9}.
An' crank our Kraco{10} speakers with that country radio.
[Chorus:]
We let it rip when we got the money.
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets a-wild, yeah, but that’s the way we get down.
[Extended chorus:]
Oh, oh, we let it rip when we got the money.
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It's buck-wild, yeah, but that’s the way we get down,
A-in a hicktown.
In a hicktown.
It's the way we get down,
In a hicktown.
Yeah, in a hicktown.
[The following coda is on the album version:]
Oh, we aint finished yet,
We got your country boys an' your redneck girls.
It's the party heard round the world.
Right here in a hicktown.
Yeah, in a hicktown.
The whole town's gettin' down.
