Nama besar baru di kancah musik country, Florida Georgia Line. Mereka adalah duo pria tampan yang berasal dari Florida: Brian Kelley dan Georgia: Tyler Hubbard, Amerika Serikat. Sejak memenangkan kontrak rekaman dengan Big Machine Label Group di pertengahan 2012 lalu, jalan yang mereka lewati mengantarkan nama duo ini ke puncak dalam waktu yang tidak cukup lama. Tidak cukup lama dalam artian debut single mereka, 'Cruise' tercatat sebagai hit paling lama yang menduduki puncak country chart di AS.
Terkejut? Enggak perlu. Karena sedetik ketika lagu ini mulai dimainkan, kita udah dapat gaya asyik musik olahan Brian dan Tyler bersama Joey Moi, Chase Rice, dan Jesse Rice yang memiliki formula hit. Setiap hentakan yang hadir menulari semangat. Keriuhan yang tercipta dijamin tidak mengganggu telinga. Rock yang diinfus diimbangi dengan permainan banjo, sehingga kita tidak sempat nge-klaim lagu ini sebagai sebuah rock tune. Tapi, dan lagi, vokal yang kuat sudah cukup bercerita bahwa ini adalah sebuah country style.
Faktor hit utama dari 'Cruise' adalah saat Jason Nevins terlibat dalam mengimpor lagu ini dalam versi remix yang menampilkan rapper Nelly. Whoa! Enggak perlu terkejut juga, karena Nelly sudah cukup akrab dengan dunia country. "Country Grammar" yang dulu pernah ia ciptakan sedikit banyak menyenggol ke ranah ini, dan ia juga dulu juga pernah berkolaborasi dengan Tim McGraw dalam sensasi sebuah country hip-hop. Maka saat ia terjun untuk mengobrak-abrik 'Cruise' hasilnya adalah mix and match yang menjadikan lagu ini bisa diterima di kalangan yang lebih luas dari sekedar country. Guncangan yang diberikannya tidak cuma terasa di Amerika, karena perlahan tapi pasti, 'Cruise' juga mulai membahana di berbagai belahan bumi lain. Amen to that!

LYRIC
Baby, you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up
What up Nelly, alright
I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up
Yeah, when I first saw that bikini top on her
She's poppin' right out of the South Georgia water
Thought, "Oh, good Lord, she had them long tanned legs."
Couldn't help myself so I walked up and said,
Baby, you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
And this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell a lot better with you up in it (come on)
So, baby, you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up
Yeah, she was sippin' on Southern and singin' Marshall Tucker
We were falling in love in the sweet heart of summer
She hopped right up into the cab of my truck
And said, "Fire it up! Let's go get this thing stuck!"
Baby, you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
And this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell a lot better with you up in it (come on)
So, baby, you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
[Nelly:]
My windows down, my seats back,
My music up, and we ride.
Her legs up on my dashboard,
And it's just the way I like.
Hey, country girl, this country boy
Like everything about you.
Don't change a thing, no way.
You stay the same, I got you.
I like saw that, all that,
Head to toe you all that.
Tell ol' boy he call back,
Send a text say, "Fall back" 'cause
I can see you got a thing for the fast life.
So come on, shawty, let me show you what the fast like.
Whipping 'cross the border, Florida into Georgia.
'Cause, baby, you a song
And you make me wanna roll my, roll my, roll my, r-r-r-roll...
Baby, you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowing stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
And this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell a lot better with you up in it (come on)!
Baby, you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up
Get those windows down and cruise,
I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up
Get those windows down and cruise,
I got my windows down and the radio up, get your radio up
