Tommy Ray played a mean guitar always dreamed someday he'd be star
But Podunkville was a million miles away from that one way street where the Music was made
Then one day a country band came to town to put on a big show
Well he got back stage asked the man how he did it he said there's only one way I Know
Find that one thing that you know is true
It'll be your compass Let it guide you
Put everything you own in the back of a truck
Shake your daddy's hand and kiss your momma for luck
Tell all those non-believers, they can kiss your ass.
Put your foot on the gas
Little Reba Jean was the Homecoming queen, being a good wife was the life she Dreamed
She married a man from down in Mississippi and that fairy tale world ended pretty Quickly
Her short tempered old man always left her black and blue
She called her daddy one night said she'd had enough said Daddy what's a girl to Do
Find the one thing that you know is true
It'll be your compass let it guide you
Put everything you own in the back of that truck
Dry those big tears and suck it up
And if he touches you again him tell him that I'm gonna dust his ass
Put your foot on the gas
You can go thru life playing it safe, slide it into neutral put you foot on the brake
Or you can be like me and go against the grain, they say, nothing ventured is Nothing gained
Well it might be wrong but that's just me
And I'm gonna be this way til the day I die or they run out of gasoline
Find that one thing that you know is true
It'll be your compass and let it guide you
When you make a few dollars son buy a good truck
Don't forget to read the bible when the going gets tough
When you get up on that stage always give it everything you have
Put your foot on the gas
Put your foot on the gas son
