  • I never stay in one place too long
    A dirt road singin' me a siren's song
    I gotta find a field, I need to spin my wheels
    I gotta a hankerin' for four wide tires
    And I can't help it, it's the way I'm wired
    'Fore you get too close, boy, you need to know

    I got a heart like a truck
    It's been drug through the mud
    Runs on dreams and gasoline
    And that ol' highway holds the key
    It's got a lead foot down when it's leavin'
    Lord knows it's taken a hell of a beatin'
    A little bit of love is all that it's needin'
    But it's good as it is tough
    I got a heart like a truck

    There ain't no brakin' when I throw it in drive
    Don't always keep it in between the lines
    If you're ready for a ride
    Pedal down state of mind
    Boy, I tell you what
    You better buckle up

    I got a heart like a truck
    It's been drug through the mud
    Runs on dreams and gasoline
    And that ol' highway holds the key
    It's got a lead foot down when it's leavin'
    Lord knows it's taken a hell of a beatin'
    A little bit of love is all that it's needin'
    But it's good as it is tough
    I got a heart like a truck

    Go on and see if you can knock off the dust, yeah
    Shine it up, rev it up, and let it run, yeah
    It gets a high ridin' off into the sun, yeah

    I got a heart like a truck
    It's been drug through the mud
    Runs on dreams and gasoline
    And that ol' highway holds the key
    It's got a lead foot down when it's leavin'
    Lord knows it's taken a hell of a beatin'
    A little bit of love is all that it's needin'
    But it's good as it is tough
    I got a heart like a truck

    Go on and see if you can knock off the dust, yeah
    Shine it up, rev it up, and let it run, yeah
    It gets a high ridin' off into the sun, yeah
    It gets a high ridin' off into the sun Writer/s: Dallas Wilson, Lainey Wilson, Trannie Anderson

  • AnonymousI hope someone calls these women out. I picked these women up in Vegas I had no idea they would steal a song I was writing about my broken 14 yr marriage
  • AnonymousCome on back to Vegas and steal some more song ideas from a poor Uber driver.I still remember all those girls leaning forward saying Damn That is a good song.
  • AnonymousLainey love this song. Downloaded as my ringtone. Love you on yellowstone.
  • Kzman from North CarolinaT Szzle why do you feel that Lainey Wilson was not involved ?
  • T Szzle from The CountryI doubt Lainey was involved.....so only 2 people. That's 1.5 rhyming pairs per writer. a whole different game :)
  • Geoff Cowan from Ca - CaliforniaHow three people could write a song with only 3 pairs of rhyming words is beyond me. Did each person come up with one pair of words? smh.
