In the back of my pick-up, out under the stars
Me and Miss Tina just talking about cars
She says I'm tired of riding with you up to lover's leap
She says I'm tired I'm riding in this old truck
And as long as you're in it you're out of luck
How can you stand to be seen in this dirty old heap
Well I heard what she said and I went downtown
I grabbed the first salesman that I found
I said I need an extended cab a Ford or GMC
He said son if a woman's involved with the choice you make
Here's some advice you might wanna take
You need to take a look around at these brand new SUVs
A sports utility vehicle, hell they're made for women and ain't got the
strength to pull
A billy goat out of a hard drivin' rain
He said, son you've been drivin' that truck to long
Your thinkin' is fuzzy and your mind is gone
Just come around here and let me show you just one thing
Don't you know the seats lay back
When you get in the way back
Of this brand new Jeep Cherokee
You can call her up and say that
We can get in the way back
And she'll find her way back to me
Well lover's leap is never gonna be the same
Cause we can sit cross legged and play a poker game
And Tina's made curtains for the windows so no one can see
Well insurance is high and that payment great
It's putting a strain on our budget
Taking food off our plate, so we decided to live in our brand new SUV
Don't you know the seats lay back
When you get in the way back
Of this brand new Jeep Cherokee
I remember the day that
We got in the way back
And she found her way back to me
Well it's been thirty-nine months since we signed this lease
Through a lot of tire kickers and a lot of police
Sneaking up on me and shining their light on me
Me and Miss Tina we got a family plan
We're gonna trade in our new home for a minivan
But we will never forget how we started our family
Don't you know the seats lay back
When you get in the way back
Of this brand new Jeep Cherokee
Well I called her up and said that
We oughta get in the way back
And you'll find your way back to me
Don't you know the seats lay back
When you get in the way back
Of this brand new Jeep Cherokee
It sure beats a haystack
As a matter of fact
Why don't you climb into the way back with me
