  • No coat, no shoes, in the South, in the sun
    Runnin' 'round in our tattoos
    You melt into me like candy in the heat
    Gets sticky, gets tricky
    Salt on the rim, chewin' ice
    I got a slice of life, I wanna live life
    Get it right, one time

    (One, two, three, four)
    You can drive me crazy, drive me half nuts
    You can drive all night to see me, take a chance on your luck
    You can drive a Hummer in the summer
    You can even drive the ladies in my Mercedes
    But you can't drive my truck

    (Let's go)
    Thinkin' back, that in the half-black, it all went off track fast
    Did you feel that, lookin' back?
    Remember in the past, in the matte jacked Cadillac, tires went flat (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Hot red little Corvette
    Prince said, "Girl, you better get it right"
    (C'mon)

    You can drive me crazy, drive me half nuts
    You can drive all night to see me, take a chance on your luck (take a chance)
    You can drive a Hummer in the summer
    You can even drive the ladies in my Mercedes
    But you can't drive my truck (but you can't drive my truck)

    (I was raised) I was raised to share my things
    With all my neighbors and my siblings
    I work all night to spend my nickels and my dimes
    On dirty Rosie

    You can drive me crazy, drive me half nuts (oh, yeah)
    You can drive all night to see me, take a chance on your luck (take a chance, take a chance)
    You can drive a Hummer in the summer
    You can even drive the ladies in my Mercedes
    But you can't drive my truck (not my truck) Writer/s: Shania Twain
