  • Let's turn it up loud, mix it up strong
    Lean it back slow, get your feel good on
    Cut 'em off short, roll it up tight
    Let it unwind tonight

    Drop down, the top down on the Pontiac
    Where ever you wind up is where the party's at
    Break out the bottle of Bacardi Black
    And don't look back 'cause

    Here's to the good times, here's to the sunshine
    Here's to the ice you float your beer in
    To the tops you pop and the tan lines disappearin'
    Oh my, my
    She's a little bit tipsy, leans in for a kiss,
    She's stealin' your heart just like a gypsy
    And there you are just a drunken star, just fallin' in her eyes
    Here's to the good times, while there's still time

    Well lay it all out, spray it on sweet
    Carve it in oak and permanent ink
    And park it way back, fog it on up
    Singin' ohh, ohh
    Radio spillin' from a single cab
    She looks so good with her silver tabs
    Hangin' on a branch by the river
    That's a memory that'll get you when you look back

    Here's to the good times, here's to the sunshine
    Here's to the ice you float your beer in
    To the tops you pop and the tan lines disappearin'
    Oh my, my
    She's a little bit tipsy, leans in for a kiss,
    She's stealin' your heart just like a gypsy
    And there you are just a drunken star, just fallin' in her eyes
    Here's to the good times, while there's still time

    Drop down, the top down on the Pontiac
    Where ever you wind up is where the party's at
    Break out the bottle of Bacardi Black
    And don't look back 'cause

    Here's to the good times, here's to the sunshine
    Here's to the ice you float your beer in
    To the tops you pop and the tan lines disappearin'
    Oh my, my
    She's a little bit tipsy, leans in for a kiss,
    She's stealin' your heart just like a gypsy
    And there you are just a drunken star, just fallin' in her eyes
    Here's to the good times

    Here's to the good times and the moonshine
    And the blue eyes under the moonlight
    Here's to the good times

    Well here's to the good times, livin' on moonwine
    Loving you all night, under the moonlight
    Here's to the good times
    While there's still time Writer/s: CHRIS TOMPKINS, LYNN HUTTON, RODNEY CLAWSON

  • Breck from Georgia UsaHow many songs reference dropping the top on a Pontiac?? Just a feel good song with a fun guitar riff in between.

    Makes me think of hot summer nights in front of the oceanside....
