It's the sound of the gravel on a backroad It's a catfish pulling on a line It's the screen door swinging on the front porch It's the crickets chirping in the night That's the sound of a tractor on a wheat field And a herd of horses running wild It's a hammer pounding nails on an old, red barn door Right on time Yeah, that's the rhythm of a laid-back country state of mind Yeah, kick your feet up if you're down Come on, won't you stay a while? Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na It's the stomp on the metal of the bleachers And the buzz of them overtime lights It's the sound of dropped-down tailgate Parked beside a midnight bonfire And I can hear the preacher read the good word While the Sunday morning church bells chime I can hear the neighbors every time throw a banger On a Friday night Yeah, that's the rhythm of a laid-back country state of mind Yeah, kick your feet up if you're down Come on, won't you stay a while?

I need you here tonight, I need you here tonight Now you've got me caught in your headlights Keep thinking day and night I need you here tonight There ain't nobody else, only you Nobody else gets me like you do Nobody else, only you So I need you here tonight Nobody else, only you Nobody else gets me like you do Nobody else, only you So I need you here tonight I really do I really do I really do I really do
