"Groove On"
by Andrew Delaney

There's a blonde on a baby blue tailgate
In a small town in the middle of a red state
Beers goin' round, songs bein' played
Deals goin' down, eyes bein' made
And she's thinkin' bout the boy with the Mustang
And the stringy black hair and the nose ring
She's probably not thinkin' of me
Or that last thing I told her as she got up to leave

Little country girl
Gettin' your groove on
Have a good time
Don't be gone for too long
If you need a ride you just pick up your cell phone
And daughter of mine, you better put you some clothes on
Cause Daddy ain't ready for reality quite yet
You're growin' up fast but I don't have to like it
It's a crazy world
Little country girl

Says the boy to the blonde in the first verse
Hey I really like your Johnny Cash t-shirt
"Folsom Prison Blues" is a little overrated
If you wanna know, "Sam Stone" is my favorite
She says yeah, well that was written by John Prine
Cash took out the line about jesus dyin'
That's the best part my daddy says
Then she rolls her eyes at the voice in her head

Little country girl
Gettin' your groove on
Have a good time
Don't be gone for too long
If you need a ride you just pick up your cell phone
And daughter of mine, you better put you some clothes on
Cause Daddy ain't ready for reality quite yet
You're growin' up fast but I don't have to like it
It's a crazy world
Little country girl

And it really wasn't all that hard before
But now my little girl's not so little no more
And a piece of my heart walks out the door
Every time you go
And doesn't matter how it ends tonight
Tell the truth it's only a matter of time
Til one of the boys says somethin' right
I just hope you know

Little country girl
This is a love song
For those times in your life when you want one
If you need a ride you just pick up your cell phone
And daughter of mine, you better put you some clothes on
Cause Daddy ain't ready for reality quite yet
You're growin' up fast but I don't have to like it
It's a crazy world
And it won't be long
Til it's yours to own
Little country girl
