  • Hey girl, what's your name?
    It's so loud in here I can't hear a thing,
    But I sure do like your style,
    And I can see you came to rock
    In your blue jeans and white tank top,
    Man that look drives me wild.

    And it's hey now here we go.
    DJ don't you play nothing slow
    Keep those girls out on the floor
    Gotta make them want to come back for more.
    Been here since the sun went down,
    Be here when it comes back around
    Worked all week it's time to play
    Gonna get a little bit sideways
    Sideways.

    Ain't no need to fight
    Y'all take that redneck stuff outside
    That's what parking lots are for.
    Once you're out you ain't coming back
    Them velvet ropes ain't got no slack
    Man they're busting down the door!

    And it's hey now here we go.
    DJ don't you play nothing slow
    Keep those girls out on the floor
    Gotta make them want to come back for more.
    Been here since the sun went down,
    Be here when it comes back around
    Worked all week it's time to play
    Gonna get a little bit sideways
    Sideways.

    That's right

    Hey now here we go
    (hey now here we go)
    DJ don't you play nothing slow
    Gotta make 'em wanna (what?) gotta make 'em wanna (what?)
    Gotta make 'em wanna come back for more.

    It's hey now here we go.
    DJ don't you play nothing slow
    Keep those girls out on the floor
    Gotta make them want to come back for more.
    Been here since the sun went down,
    Be here when it comes back around
    Worked all week it's time to play
    Gonna get a little bit sideways
    Sideways. Sideways. Sideways.

    Hey girl what's your name?
    It's so loud in here I can't hear a thing Writer/s: DIERKS BENTLEY, JAMES BEAVERS

  • Camille from Toronto, OhI'm not a huge Dierks Bentley fan, but I like this song. The chorus is very catchy. Of course, the hook to the song is that the first line sung is the last line as well.
  • Sherry from Las Cruces, NmI love this song and video. I grew up in the 80's with all the great dancing videos. When I watch this video I want to sign up for dance lessions and do what they're doing. The dancers rock and the hip hop style blended with the cow roping thing is very original. Two thumbs up. If it doesn't get you dancing you are a dead beat!
