Story behind the song
I wrote this song because most fathers look at what life could have been like, but nothing compares to their family.
Lyrics
Hit That Floor
(1st verse)
Daddy said boy you better give up that dream
You've got two little girls a pretty young wife
And a mini-van full of gasoline
So proud of who you are now cruising down the road
Girls fightin in the backseat the sound of love you can hold
(chorus)
But sometimes I just wanna trade it in
For a 65 mustang racing down the interstate
Hair blowin in the wind
Yeah I can see it now the cars chasing me
With my foot on the gas life's too short to ask
What the hell are we here for
Just don't stop til you hit that floor, hit that floor
(2nd verse)
Mama said boy you're one for speed
With your shiny big wheel and dark sunglasses
Puttin on a show for all your friends to see
Now you're rushin to ballet caught up at red lights
Cops in your rear view the adrenaline that's life
(bridge)
Oh when I hear the engine revin up to go
Leave all my cares behind won't hold back
I keep reaching out for more hit that floor
(3rd chorus)
She said wake up dad the video game's
Been over about five minutes now
Kids in line are starting to complain
As I got up I recall going neck and neck with car number 3
That's about as good as it can be
