World Under My Tyres Lyrics

RAISED LIKE THAT

Lyrics to World Under My Tyres
The day I turned sixteen, I opened up the paper
Highlighting ads in the local trader
Then Daddy took me out to a parking lot
Paid a little bit of cash and what I got

Was an old Ford, I spent every dollar
Shined it up on the day that bought her
Mumma said don't be gone too long
But I didn't look back when I left home, no

'Cause I was out on the road
Yeah, that was living
Windows down, country kid singing
Trying to keep it cool, lay it back
Just kicking up dust on a dirt track
Going slow, one hand on the wheel
Of a '84 chromed up automobile
Yeah, that was freedom and I was feeling alive
'Cause I had the whole world under my tyres
Yeah, I did!

So I took that right, headed into town
Hit the tarmac and put the pedal down
Till I got to my friend Jack's
I honked the horn and he through his bag in the back

With a fist pump, shades on, time to choose a new song
Hand out the window, cruising along
Up and down the Main Street
Alright
Turning up the level on a burnt CD, oh

'Cause we were out on the road
Yeah, that was living
Windows down, country kid singing
Trying to keep it cool, lay it back
Just kicking up dust on a dirt track
Going slow, one hand on the wheel
Of a '84 chromed up automobile
That was freedom and I was feeling alive
'Cause I had the whole world under my tyres
Yeah, I did
I had the whole world under my tyres

We were rolling rolling, cruising with the seat back
Rolling rolling, tapping on the front dash
Rolling rolling, taking things slow, ain't ever going home hell no!

Out on the road
Yeah, that was living
Windows down, country kid singing
Trying to keep it cool, lay it back
Just kicking up dust on a dirt track
Going slow, one hand on the wheel
Of a '84 chromed up automobile
That was freedom and I was feeling alive
'Cause I had the whole world under my tyres
Yeah, I did

I had the whole world under my tyres
Oh
I had the whole world under my tyres
Yeah
I had the whole world under my tyres
I had the whole world under my tyres
