About this song

Parody artist Cuntreeboi flips every country trope: the narrator misses the attention his "big lifted truck" got from "them country girls," but "the cost of gas" and the fact that "fossil fuels are a dying breed" won him over to "practical proficiency." The bridge is a seduction — "Let's make love in the back of my Prius, there's enough room if you fold the seats down."

Lyrics

Some good ol' boys like their pickup trucks And so do I, lemme tell you boy Ain't nothing like a big lifted truck But there's something else that gives me joy Them country girls like a man in a truck I get it hun, don't be so coy But the cost of gas, more than a couple bucks Is it worth it? I think my Prius is the real McCoy When it comes to automotives I have to say my number one motive Is fuel efficiency Practical proficiency I may not look as cool My plums are gettin' blue But my love for my Prius On par with my love for Jesus My good ol' truck back in the day Used to get so much attention Thought them big track tires were here to stay Holdin' up leaf spring suspension But fossil fuels are a dying breed Like the dinosaurs they came from Had to put down my rusty steed I'm on a mission for zero emission When it comes to automotives I have to say my number one motive Is fuel efficiency Practical proficiency I may not look as cool My plums are gettin' blue But my love for my Prius On par with my love for Jesus Let's make love in the back, of my Prius Theres enough room if you fold the seats down Let's make love in the back, of my Prius When it comes to automotives I have to say my number one motive Is fuel efficiency Practical proficiency I may not look as cool My plums are gettin' blue But my love for my Prius On par with my love for Jesus
