[Intro] Vinyl crackle on the dash Dust on the windshield Yeah, we goin’ in [Verse 1] Sixteen miles of gravel Baby, you know the way Tires bite that red clay Make the whole county shake My truck bed’s full of weekend My boots got fresh-cut scars You laugh when the mud flies Paintin’ both our doors [Pre-Chorus] Hold on tight Roads get wild Hear that stomp, hear that clappin’ We cross that line No turnin’ back Banjo singin’ in the blackness [Chorus] Mud on the tailgate Mud on the tailgate We came to ride this road all night Mud on the tailgate Mud on the tailgate Baby, let it fly, let it fly (hey) (let it fly) (hey) (mud on the tailgate) [Verse 2] We passed that old tobacco field Past the rusted water tower Your hair in the summer wind Got me leanin’ in to shout You said, “Keep it floorboard steady” When the ruts got mean and deep I said, “Girl, I like it better When this road gets rough on me” [Pre-Chorus] Hold on tight Roads get wild Hear that stomp, hear that clappin’ We cross that line No turnin’ back Banjo singin’ in the blackness [Chorus] Mud on the tailgate Mud on the tailgate We came to ride this road all night Mud on the tailgate Mud on the tailgate Baby, let it fly, let it fly (hey) (let it fly) (hey) (mud on the tailgate) [Bridge] When the creek runs high And the stars get low I keep your name On the radio If the world goes soft We go off-road Mud on our laughs And a long way home [Final Chorus] Mud on the tailgate Mud on the tailgate We came to ride this road all night Mud on the tailgate Mud on the tailgate Baby, let it fly, let it fly (hey) (let it fly) (hey) (mud on the tailgate)
