“Little Red Wagon”

Lagu “Little Red Wagon” dinyanyikan oleh penyanyi country Miranda Lambert.

You can’t ride in my little red wagon

The front seat’s broken and the axel’s draggin’

You can’t step to this backyard swagger

You know it ain’t my fault

When I walk, when I talk, what I say

It’s just the way that I am and the way that I be

I got a big-time reputation of gettin’ it on

Well, they all know what they see

And they all like it to be, but that don’t mean it’s wrong

If some shakin’ goes on, ha

From the middle of the map to the third coast

Puts some boots in your ass, toes in the sand

Not worried ’bout no city folk

With their fancy cars and their downtown bars

Oh no

Some of us like to get a little loud

Get a little crazy, get a little lazy

In the middle of nowhere

Well, you know

You can’t ride in my little red wagon

The front seat’s broken and the axel’s draggin’

You can’t step to this backyard swagger

You know it ain’t my fault

When I walk, when I talk, what I say

It’s just the way that I am and the way that I be

I got a big-time reputation of gettin’ it on

Well, they all know what they see

And they all like it to be, but that don’t mean it’s wrong

If some shakin’ goes on

When you go a little off-roading

You can always come back, backsliding

But if you come back from where you been

What you get is what you get and I’m gone

You can’t ride in my little red wagon

The front seat’s broken and the axel’s draggin’

You can’t step to this backyard swagger

You know it ain’t my fault

When I walk, when I talk, what I say

It’s just the way that I am and the way that I be

I got a big-time reputation of gettin’ it on

Well, they all know what they see

And they all like it to be, but that don’t mean it’s wrong

If some shakin’ goes on, ha

If some shakin’ goes on, ha

If some shakin’ goes on

If some shakin’ goes on, ha

If some shakin’ goes on
