Green Light

There's a little, old town in Louisiana
That I'm lucky to call my own
There's a warm bed waitin' and a momma sayin'
You could always come back home
I spent my younger years shiftin' gears
Drivin' fast as a young man does
Had my eyes on the prize and my name in lights
Kickin' up a cloud of dust

I was born on a green light
Got the windows down
It's a good time
For runnin' around
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now
Born on a green light
Ain't no stoppin' me now
You gotta get right
Get your feet off the ground
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now, yeah

I met a sweet-talkin' girl out in West Virginia
And she loved me like a king
But I could see it in her eyes every time she smiled
She was makin' plans for me
I said 'Oh no, baby, you know me maybe'
'But I know me better than that'
'But take a look at my life and my ex-wife'
'I'm leaving, I ain't lookin' back'

'Cause I was born on a green light
Got the windows down
It's a good time
For runnin' around
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now
Born on a green light
Ain't no stoppin' me now
You gotta get right
Get your feet off the ground
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now, yeah

'Cause if there's a road
Baby, I'm gonna go it
And if there's an answer
Damn sure, I'm gonna know it

'Cause I was born on a green light
Got the windows down
It's a good time
For runnin' around
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now
Born on a green light
Ain't no stoppin' me now
You gotta get right
Get your feet off the ground
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now

Let's roll
