James Dupré - Green Light Lyrics

There's a little old town in Louisiana
That I'm lucky call my own
There's a warm bed waiting
And a mama saying, "you can always come back home"
I spent my younger years shifting gears
Driving fast as a young man does
I had my eyes on the prize
And my name in lights
Kicking up a cloud of dust

I was born on a green light
Got the windows down
It's a good time for running around
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now
Born on a green light
Ain't no stopping me now
You gotta get right, get your feet off the ground
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now

I met a sweet talking girl out in West Virginia
And she loved me like a king
But I could see it in her eyes every time she smiled
She was making plans for me
I said, "Oh no, baby, you know me maybe
But I know me better than that
Take a look at my life and my ex-wife
I'm leaving, I ain't looking back"

'Cause I was born on a green light
Got the windows down
It's a good time for running around
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now
Born on a green light
Ain't no stopping me now
You gotta get right, get your feet off the ground
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now

'Cause if there's a road
Baby, I'm gonna go it
And if there's an answer
Damn sure, I'm gonna know it

'Cause I was born on a green light
Got the windows down
It's a good time for running around
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now
Born on a green light
Ain't no stopping me now
You gotta get right, get your feet off the ground
Get up, get out of town
Turn the radio louder now
