[Verse 1]
I can't count the barns I've passed
Painted red, white and black, see Rock City
And up ahead there's a turn
That'll take me right through Gatlinburg, I hear it's pretty

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Baby, some other time
I can't slow down
Right across that state line
Right about now

[Chorus]
Her hair's still wet from her bath
She's sittin' on the front porch with a glass
Of ice tea, in my sweatshirt, in her bare feet
This I gotta see
If I hurry I can catch
The colors on her skin from that sunset
And her face and that look, waitin' on me
This I gotta see
This I gotta see

[Verse 2]
I can't wait to get to her
Man, I wish I were there already
She's the only thing that keeps
This world from drivin' me crazy

[Pre-Chorus]
I just hit that city limit
Yeah, and that's a pretty good sign
And if I pick it up a bit
I'll be right on time

[Chorus]
Her hair's still wet from her bath
She's sittin' on the front porch with a glass
Of ice tea, in my sweatshirt, in her bare feet
This I gotta see
If I hurry I can catch
The colors on her skin from that sunset
And her face, and that look, waitin' on me
This I gotta see, yeah

[Chorus]
Her hair's still wet from her bath
She's sittin' on the front porch with a glass
Of ice tea, in my sweatshirt, in her bare feet
This I gotta see
If I hurry I can catch
The colors on her skin from that sunset
And her face and that look, waitin' on me
This I gotta see
This I gotta see

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.
