Song of the Week- Cruise

Cruise is recorded by Florida Georgia Line.  FGL is made up of singers; Tyler Hubbard from Monroe, Georgia and Brian Kelley from Ormond Beach, Florida.  The duo has been singing together since graduating from college at Belmont University.  They originally met through mutual friends in Nashville.  Personally, the song reminds me of the summer.  It is mainly a song about a summer love story.  The song is featured on their second album, "It'z Just What We Do."  Other songs on the album include, "Get Your Shine On," "Tip it Back," "Tell me How You Like It," and "It'z Just What We Do." 

Some say that singer and guitarist Tyler Hubbard has a special voice.  His voice is like nothing heard in country music.  He has a grainy, southern drawl.  The song begins with a hook which usually helps it become a huge hit on the radio, and then tells it's story.  Some also say the summer love story it typical, and not always something new but it never gets old, and FGL does a great job of telling the story.  This can be considered as a summer song, but I still think that it is a great song and definitely worth mentioning. Please enjoy this rock-influenced country party song!

Here are some lyrics:
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise

Hey baby

Yeah, when I first saw that bikini top on her
She’s poppin’ right out of the South Georgia water
Thought, "Oh, good lord, she had them long tanned legs"
Couldn’t help myself so I walked up and said

Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
In this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
It’d look a hell lot better with you up in it
So baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise

She was sippin’ on southern and singin’ Marshall Tucker
We were falling in love in the sweet heart of summer
She hopped right up into the cab of my truck and said
"Fire it up, let’s go get this thing stuck"

Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
In this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
It’d look a hell lot better with you up in it
So baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
