Both the melody Rodney Atkins‘ ‘Just Wanna Rock N’ Roll’ lyrics will instantly put you in a carefree and happy frame of mind.

Everything about ‘Take a Little Ride, from the lyrics to the melody, sounds just like a Jason Aldean hit should. That’s exactly what the song’s three writers — Dylan Altman, Rodney Clawson and Jim McCormick — were hoping for when they turned in their demo after penning the song.

We all knew when Tim McGraw delivered new music, he would come armed with something that would make an impact. The ‘Truck Yeah’ lyrics, penned by Preston Brust and Chris Lucas of LoCash Cowboys, along with Chris Janson and Danny Myrick, do just that.
