🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Got a girl from the Southside Got braids in her hair First time I seen her walk by Man I ’bout fell up out my chair Had to get her number It took me like six weeks Now me and her go way back Like Cadillac seats
Body like a back road Drivin’ with my eyes closed I know every curve like the back of my hand Doin’ 15 in a 30 I ain’t in no hurry I’ma take it slow just as fast as I can
The way she fit in them blue jeans She don’t need no belt But I can turn ’em inside out I don’t need no help Got hips like honey So thick and so sweet (Man) Ain’t no curves like hers On them downtown streets
Body like a back road Drivin’ with my eyes closed I know every curve like the back of my hand Doin’ 15 in a 30 I ain’t in no hurry I’ma take it slow just as fast as I can
We’re out here in the boondocks With the breeze and the birds Tangled up in the tall grass With my lips on hers On a highway to heaven Headed south of her smile Get there when we get there Every inch is a mile
Body like a back road Drivin’ with my eyes closed I know every curve like the back of my hand Doin’ 15 in a 30 I ain’t in no hurry I’ma take it slow just as fast as I can
I’ma take it slow Just as fast I can (Body like a back road) (Drivin’ with my eyes closed) Got braids in her hair (I know every curve like the back of my hand)
