Z71
Sean Stemaly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴37′s hummin' on a no-name road
Got the windows cracked, blowin′ back that homegrown smoke
Twin turbos talkin' over Alice in Chains
Got a fresh coat of mud on the jet black paint

Take that EFI, turn it up to five
Make a country boy get high

On six hundred horses, gonna let 'em run
Got the hammer on the metal like a loaded gun
They′ll hear me comin′ from a mile away
In a Duramax Chevrolet
Gonna ride until it lights up the fuel light up
In that four-by-four door, three-quarter ton Z71

It ain't John Deere Green, it ain′t I-H red
But it'll walk the dog on a pulling sled
A hundred thousand miles barely broken in
Burnin′ rubber tryna chase the wind

With all them six hundred horses, gonna let 'em run
Got the hammer on the metal like a loaded gun
They′ll hear me comin' from a mile away
In a Duramax Chevrolet
Gonna ride until it lights up the fuel light up
In that four-by-four door, three-quarter ton Z71
Z71, yeah

On six hundred horses, gonna let 'em run
Got the hammer on the metal like a loaded gun
They′ll hear me comin′ from a mile away
In a Duramax Chevrolet
Gonna ride until it lights up the fuel light up
In that four-by-four door, three-quarter ton Z71
Z71, yeah
Z71

Take that EFI, turn it up to five
Make a country boy get high
