[Verse 1]
One horse town, restless soul
Wondering where the river and the freight trains go
Two lane road, hometown roots
We're never gonna hold back my goodbye boots
Just waiting on ready or not
You know the first chance I got

[Chorus]
I got blacktop gone, four lane fast
Topping off the tank with some never look back
Chase that sun, race that wind
With them horses that you can't fence in
Free like a freeway, high on a highway
Packing up a getaway soul
Getting blacktop gone

[Verse 2]
Girl you look like you might
Do a little running out on the wild side
I bet that kiss could slow me down
But if you're looking for Mr. Stick Around
That ain't me
It's like I'm born to be

[Chorus]
Blacktop gone, four lane fast
Topping off the tank with some never look back
Chase that sun, race that wind
With them horses that you can't fence in
Free like a freeway, high on a highway
Packing up a getaway soul
Getting blacktop gone

[Bridge]
I'm just a good to go, one night show
I'm ready to rock 'til I'm ready to roll

[Chorus]
And get blacktop gone, four lane fast
Topping off the tank with some never look back
Chase that sun, race that wind
With them horses that you can't fence in
Free like a freeway, high on a highway
Packing up a getaway soul
Getting blacktop gone

[Outro]
Blacktop gone
Girl we're getting blacktop gone

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
