Hehe I see you and me riding like Bonnie and Clyde Going ninety five, burning down 129, yeah Looking for the law, while I push my luck And she's ridin' shotgun like it ain't no thing Turn the radio up so the girl can sing right Pull into the party like, "Y'all, wassup?" Tonight it's bottoms up (up) Throw it on down Rock this quiet little country town and get up Drop a tailgate on your truck Find a keg and fill ya cup up Kick it on back Pretty little mama looking at ya like that Make you wanna slide on in like, "Girl, what's up?" Yeah, tonight it's bottoms up (up, up) Get 'em up Tonight it's bottoms up (up, up) Get 'em up Damn Girl, I gotta tip my hat Never thought a country song would make you move like that, yeah And she's doing it in Daisy Dukes, girl She got ya tappin' on a boy's shoulder "Hey dawg, check this out" Man, it's how them girls do it in the dirty south, yeah She'll have you on a knee, "Can I marry you?" Yeah, tonight it's bottoms up (up) Throw it on down Rock this quiet little country town and get up Drop a tailgate on your truck Find a keg and fill ya cup up Kick it on back Pretty little mama looking at ya like that Make you wanna slide on in like, "Girl, what's up?" Yeah, tonight it's bottoms up (up, up) Get 'em up Tonight it's bottoms up (up, up) Get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up Get 'em up Ayo, whatever you sipping on Get it up in the air one time Bottoms up Let's give a toast to the good times All y'all, get your drinks up high Everybody feeling alright Damn right 'Cause tonight it's bottoms up Throw it on down Rock this quiet little country town and get up Drop a tailgate on your truck Find a keg and fill ya cup up Kick it on back Pretty little mama looking at ya like that Make you wanna slide on in like, "Girl, what's up?" Tonight it's bottoms up (up) Throw it on down Rock this quiet little country town and get up Drop a tailgate on your truck Find a keg and fill ya cup up Kick it on back Pretty little mama looking at ya like that Make you wanna slide on in like, "Girl, what's up?"
