[Verse 1]
The sun has opened up my eyes
And I don't wanna leave your side
For that lonesome road
But here I go
Climbin' back behind the wheel
Of fifty feet of chrome and steel
And a load they need in Chicago

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Through the middle of the night unknown
I am on a ride that won't let me go

[Chorus]
I am an asphalt cowboy
Born to run underneath the stars
Pay no mind to my lonely heart
I just ride, ride
'Til I'm back in your arms again
I'll be out here on the wind

[Verse 2]
And sometimes late at night
I see your picture by the dashboard light
And it takes me
Where I'd like to be
Wrapped up in a blanket there
Pulling ribbons from your hair, and your kiss
Girl, thats what I miss

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow
This high-speed rodeo is all I know

[Chorus]
I am an asphalt cowboy
Born to run underneath the stars
Pay no mind to my lonely heart
I just ride, ride
'Til I'm back in your arms again
I'll be out here on the wind

[Outro]
And I'll ride
'Til I'm back in your arms again
I'll be out here on the wind
And I'll ride
Through the middle of the night unknown
I'm on a ride that won't let me go

Jason Aldean

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.
