Written by former Nashville disc-jockey Bill Naughton, Jr., (WSIX, WSM-FM) and recorded in 2017 as a demo, "Girl Driving A Truck" clocks in at 3:20 and is tailor-made for modern country radio. It's clever, catchy and contemporary (Eagles meet Blake Shelton) and there's no doubt that this song will be a huge hit for whoever decides to record and release it.
It kicks off with a memorable and recurring electric guitar riff reminiscent of "Satisfaction," the hook in the chorus is strong and the powerful bridge leading into a killer guitar solo absolutely seals the deal and leaves no doubt in anyone's mind, this is a hit!
This song would be perfect for a country singer like Kenny Chesney, Dierks Bentley, Darius Rucker, Josh Turner, Scotty McCreery or maybe even Blake Shelton or Jason Aldean.
Girl Driving A Truck
(words and music by Bill Naughton, Jr.)
-chorus-
Girl driving a truck, that really turns me on,
The kind of girl I'd like to hold in my arms and dance with all day long,
And if I play my cards just right, and with a little bit of luck,
I could be riding shotgun every night, with that girl driving a truck...
I've been searching seems like all my life,
For the girl I dreamed someday would be my wife,
And I always pictured her as young and free,
And kind of crazy just like me...
And there she goes now in that flat bed Ford,
Slowing it down like in that Eagles song.
Checking me out as she goes cruising by,
She's acting cool and looking fine...
-repeat chorus-
-bridge-
I hope she hasn't got a boyfriend,
Because I can't just let her drive away,
I want to take her out this weekend,
I hope she'll see me Saturday, eh.. eh...
Ah..ah..ah.....ah..ah..ah.. ah.....
-guitar solo-
-repeat chorus-
Yeah I could be riding shotgun every night,
With that girl driving a truck...
