LYRICS
[Intro]
[Soft acoustic guitar strums]
La la la, oh darlin'...

[Verse 1]
Got my pickup truck all washed and shiny
Met a girl who's sweet as strawberry wine-y
Mama loves her and my dog does too
Ain't that what every country song's supposed to do?

[Pre-chorus 1]
So I grabbed my guitar, yeah I knew the drill
Called up Nashville, got a contract to fill
They said "son, just keep it simple and true"
And that's exactly what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]
Did I write this love song just to get on the radio?
(Just to get on the radio)
Throw in trucks and mama and some sweet small-town flow?
Hell yeah baby, now you know
I wrote this damn song just to get on the radio

[Verse 2]
Threw in a line about her cutoff jeans
Added something 'bout them country scenes
She's dancing barefoot in the summer rain
(Oh yeah) I'm checking off that hit song checklist again

[Pre-chorus 2]
Got that fiddle crying right on cue
Steel guitar making everything blue
Producer said "son, that's how it's done"
So I kept this gravy train rolling on

[Chorus]
Did I write this love song just to get on the radio?
(Just to get on the radio)
Throw in trucks and mama and some sweet small-town flow?
Hell yeah baby, now you know
I wrote this damn song just to get on the radio

[Bridge]
Now hold up y'all, let me tell you straight
This industry's got a formula, and damn it works great
So I'm sitting here, writing what they wanna hear
'Cause mama needs a new pair of boots this year
(Oh yeah she does)

[Verse 3]
Sugar, you're my American sweetheart dream
My sweet tea angel, my hometown queen
But between you and me, and this microphone
I'm just singing what sells, honey that ain't wrong

[Chorus - with intensity]
Did I write this love song just to get on the radio?
(Just to get on the radio)
Throw in trucks and mama and some sweet small-town flow?
Hell yeah baby, now you know
I wrote this damn song just to get on the radio

[Outro]
[Spoken]
And you know what, darlin'?
It's working
(La la la...)
[Fade out with honky-tonk piano]
