Lyrics
Yeah, you can see the girl coming
From a mile away
She got her big wheels turning
She got Oklahoma plates
She’s got the sunroof up
She’s got her window rolled down
And you ought to feel the ground shaking
When she comes to town
Yeah, I’m in love with a girl in a four-wheel drive
Chrome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in a large machine
Man, I wonder how she gets up in that thing
Cast a big shadow sitting in the sun
She’s got it revved up, rocking, ready to run
And someday soon, I’m gonna climb right up
Take a little ride in her big ol’ truck
She’s got bucket seats, fully customized
“In Your Wildest Dreams” painted on the side
It was built to run, she was built to show
She’s got a Haggard hit playing on the stereo
Yeah, I’m in love with a girl in a four-wheel drive
Chrome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in a large machine
Man, I wonder how she gets up in that thing
Cast a big shadow sitting in the sun
She’s got it revved up, rocking, ready to run
And someday soon, I’m gonna climb right up
Take a little ride in her big ol’ truck
Yeah, I’m in love with a girl in a four-wheel drive
Chrome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in a large machine
Man, I wonder how she gets up in that thing
Cast a big shadow sitting in the sun
She’s got it revved up, rocking, ready to run
And someday soon, I’m gonna climb right up
Take a little ride in her big ol’ truck
Big ol’ truck
Ten feet tall, ten feet wide
It’s a big ol’ truck
Here she come again, man
