  • Come on now small town DJ
    She really broke my heart
    Now I'm just drivin' down this highway
    Listenin' in the dark
    And all I really need is a catchy hook
    No poetic words from a fancy book
    No lies about love and forever
    Just somethin' that'll make ya feel better

    Give me somethin' to ride to
    And forget about life to
    The kind you wanna get high to
    Lay back in the night to
    Yeah used to be dance songs
    Slow jams and romance songs
    But now that she's gone and the radio's on
    Yeah I just want one that don't sing about her
    Give me somethin' to ride to

    I don't know where I'm goin' right now
    But the sign on the road says south
    And if I hear one more slow down sound
    I'm bound to turn back around

    So give me somethin' to ride to
    And forget about life to
    The kind you wanna get high to
    Lay back in the night to
    Yeah used to be dance songs
    Slow jams and romance songs
    But now that she's gone and the radio's on
    Yeah I just want one that don't sing about her
    Give me somethin' to ride to
    Yeah yeah
    Give me somethin' to ride to

    Get her out of my mind to
    Feel the good and goodbye tune
    No lines about love and forever
    Just somethin' that'll make me feel better

    Give me somethin' to ride to
    And forget about life to
    The kind you wanna get high to
    Lay back in the night to
    Yeah used to be dance songs
    Slow jams and romance songs
    But now that she's gone and the radio's on
    Yeah I just want one that don't sing about her
    Give me somethin' to ride to
    Yeah yeah
    Give me somethin' to ride to

    Come on now small town DJ
    She really broke my heart
    And I'm just drivin' down this highway
