Three Chords & the Truth

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a Tennessee two-lane sky Shakes the Broadway bars at night Makes you wanna get a little too close To a Cali girl watchin' windshield satellites It's a soundtrack to our lives It's the only reason why A kid from Carolina would drive to Nashville To chase a dream without a dime [Chorus 1] It's why we drink too much on Friday nights Raise our hand in the neon lights Sweet Home Alabama and a Ring of Fire I could sing along 'til the day I die Why we break up, fall back in love Why we roll around in the bed of a truck Why we all stop when we hear that one And she whispers, "Turn it up" [Post-Chorus] And for a second, we're bulletproof We get lost in a song or two The world don't move, and all I need is you And three chords and the truth [Verse 2] I see you blinkin' through your blue eyes How a song can turn back time You can almost feel the sand on your feet From the passenger seat Singing anything but mine And don't you know that we were raised on the radio? [Chorus 2] It's why we drink too much on Friday nights Raise our hand in the neon lights Copperhead Road and Mama tried I could sing along 'til the day I die Why we break up, fall back in love Why we roll around in the bed of a truck Why we all stop when we hear that one And she whispers, "Turn it up" [Post-Chorus] And for a second, we're bulletproof We get lost in a song or two The world don't move, and all I need is you And three chords and the truth [Bridge] It's Muscle Shoals to rock n' roll It's a steel guitar that steals your soul It's a country song that takes you home again [Chorus 3] It's why we drink too much on Friday nights Raise our hand in church pew aisles Amazing Grace, Sweet By and By I could sing along 'til the day I die Why we break up, fall back in love Why we roll around in the bed of a truck Why we all stop when we hear that one And she whispers, "Turn it up" [Post-Chorus] And for a second we're bulletproof Get lost in a song or two The world don't move, and all I need is you And three chords and the truth
