Origineel
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1: Upchurch]
We used to lock ourselves in your room
Burnin’ incense to cover up the smell of the marijuana
From your mama
You had me burnin’ up every back road
Feedin’ my gas tank every last one of my dollars
And I wasn’t bothered (And I wasn’t bothered)
Them miles on that 351 added up to a million crazy nights of fun
We were out of control and goin’ out in flames of glory
[Chorus: Robert James]
And now you’re like hot damn (Hot damn)
Now he’s ridin’ ‘round with the top down (Top down)
Made a big name in a small town (Small town)
Now he’s got another girl’s hands on his now
Hot damn (Hot damn)
Now he’s ridin’ ‘round with top down (Top down)
Made a big name in a small town (Small town)
Now he’s got another girl’s hands on his now
[Hook: Robert James]
Love ain’t always pleasin’, love can be deceivin’
You give your heart and then they let it go (Let it go)
But it’s somethin’ you believe in, you know that feelin’
When you just let it take control, oh
[Verse 2: Upchurch]
I’m just tryin’ to do my thing, not everybody else’s
I let people go in my life ‘cause they was holdin’ me back and
I feel kinda bad but then again I tend to forget
That they was the ones lettin’ me down when I wasn’t up at my best
I’ve had girlfriends say they won’t leave, had friends with knives up in my back
Had people make me promises, that didn’t follow through with that
Got people hittin’ my life for reasons involvin’ this money
Goddamn it I’ll empty my pockets, what the fuck you want from me?
They say everybody wanna be famous, everybody wanna find love
But when you put that shit together get ready for the TV show
When that red dot’s blinkin’ good luck bein’ yourself
I get anxiety at these labels in Nashville myself
And I’ll be sittin’ at a meetin’ ’til the business talk is faded
Just wishin’ I could be with you with a day well wasted
But these sold out shows are callin’ my name and they wantin’ the encore
But all I want is you laughin’, droppin’ the joint in the floorboard
[Chorus: Robert James]
And now you’re like hot damn (Hot damn)
Now he’s ridin’ ‘round with the top down (Top down)
Made a big name in a small town (Small town)
Now he’s got another girl’s hands on his now
Hot damn (Hot damn)
Now he’s ridin’ ‘round with top down (Top down)
Made a big name in a small town (Small town)
Now he’s got another girl’s hands on his now
[Hook: Robert James]
Love ain’t always pleasin’, love can be deceivin’
You give your heart and then they let it go (Let it go)
But it’s somethin’ you believe in, you know that feelin’
When you just let it take control, oh
[Verse 3: Robert James]
It’s kinda like fire and ice
Upchurch and Robert James fuckin’ dynamite
Every minute that we write is an image we bring to life
Tryin’ to make it up out the shadows all we got is candle light
Yeah we’re freaky like Houdini comin’ out at night
Yeah, we’re sneaky, steal your love and make it a drug you like, baby
You’re fresher that the harvest
You walk by, my head spinnin’, gettin’ nauseous
I’m on cloud 9 so high I start coughin’
Together we’re a promise, more solid than the motherfuckin’ ground
So stand on it, be the target
Be the smartest, I love you baby since the day we started
[Hook: Robert James]
Love ain’t always pleasin’, love can be deceivin’
You give your heart and then they let it go
But it’s somethin’ you believe in, you know that feelin’
When you just let it take control, oh
[Verse 1: Upchurch]
We used to lock ourselves in your room
Burnin’ incense to cover up the smell of the marijuana

We were out of control and goin’ out in flames of glory
[Chorus: Robert James]
And now you’re like hot damn (Hot damn)

Love ain’t always pleasing, love can be deceivin’
You give your heart and then they let it go
But it’s somethin’ you believe in, you know that feelin’
When you just let it take control, oh
Vertaling
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1: Upchurch]
We sloten ons op in je kamer
Burnin’ incense to cover up the smell of the marijuana
From your mama
You had me burnin’ up every back road
Feedin’ my gas tank every last one of my dollars
And I wasn’t bothered (And I wasn’t bothered)
Die kilometers op die 351 waren opgeteld een miljoen gekke nachten van plezier
We waren de controle kwijt en gingen naar buiten in vlammen van glorie
[Chorus: Robert James]
And now you’re like hot damn (Hot damn)
Now he’s ridin’ round with the top down (Top down)
Made a big name in a small town (Kleine stad)
Now he’s got another girl’s hands on his now
Hot damn
Now he’s ridin ‘round with top down (Top down)
Made a big name in a small town (Kleine stad)
Now he’s got another girl’s hands on his now
[Hook: Robert James]
Liefde is niet altijd plezierig, liefde kan misleidend zijn
You give your heart and then they let it go (Let it go)
But it’s somethin’ you believe in, you know that feelin’
When you just let it take control, oh
[Verse 2: Upchurch]
I’m just tryin’ to do my thing, not everybody else’s
I let people go in my life ‘cause they was holdin’ me back and
I feel a kinda bad but then again I tend to forget
dat zij degenen waren die me in de steek lieten toen ik niet op mijn best was
Ik heb vriendinnen gehad die zeiden dat ze me niet zouden verlaten, vrienden met messen in mijn rug
Ik had mensen die me beloften deden, die ze niet nakwamen
Ik heb mensen die mijn leven overhoop halen om redenen die met dit geld te maken hebben
Verdomme, ik maak mijn zakken leeg. Wat wil je verdomme van me?
Ze zeggen dat iedereen beroemd wil zijn, iedereen wil liefde vinden
Maar als je dat allemaal samenvoegt, maak je dan maar klaar voor de TV show.
Als die rode stip knippert, veel geluk om jezelf te zijn.
Ik word zelf bang van die labels in Nashville
En ik zal op een vergadering zitten tot de zakenpraat is vervaagd
Just wishin’ I could be with you with a day well wasted
Maar deze uitverkochte shows roepen mijn naam en ze willen de toegift
But all I want is you laughin’, droppin’ the joint in the floorboard
[Chorus: Robert James]
And now you’re like hot damn (Hot damn)
Now he’s ridin’ round with the top down (Top down)
Made a big name in a small town (Kleine stad)
Now he’s got another girl’s hands on his now
Hot damn
Now he’s ridin ‘round with top down (Top down)
Made a big name in a small town (Kleine stad)
Now he’s got another girl’s hands on his now
[Hook: Robert James]

Yeah we’re freaky like Houdini comin’ out at night
Yeah, we’re sneaky, steal your love and make it a drug you like, baby
Je bent verser dan de oogst
Je loopt voorbij, mijn hoofd tolt, ik word misselijk
I’m on cloud 9 so high I start coughin’
Together we’re a promise, more solid than the motherfuckin’ ground
So stand on it, be the target
Be the smartest, I love you baby since the day we started
[Hook: Robert James]
