Dustin Lynch + Jelly Roll's 'Chevrolet' Lyrics Explained

Dustin Lynch feels very fortunate that two important people signed off on the lyrics to his new radio single, "Chevrolet." "That song is a classic," he tells Taste of Country, but he's not referring to his own song. "Chevrolet" borrows the melody from Dobie Gray's 1973 hit "Drift Away." Jessi Alexander, Chase McGill and Hunter Phelps added a new lyric that tells a story of a guy meeting a seemingly metropolitan kind of girl in a bar, only to realize she prefers the country.

#2,475 The Best Loblolly Ever. Laurel Mercantile

To date, there has never been a Loblolly with bigger crowds, and the sunshine didn’t disappoint either. My heart feels full to bursting. We used instagram stories to let folks all over the country come to the festival, and I’ve never felt such a spirit of community in our little town in my life. I’ll let the pictures tell the story, mostly as the festival mascot’s tag along. It begins with choosing the right flannel before he leaves the house… Though this would have been more comfortable considering it was 90 degrees.

Cloris Leachmans Daughter Dinah Englund Reflects on Her Moms Life: No One Could Bring Her D

It’s probably not surprising to learn that Cloris Leachman was a fun mom. “She was mischievous and always wanted to see how far she could go and what she could get away with,” her daughter, Dinah Englund, exclusively tells Closer. “She was especially funny in the way she saw the world.” Even at home, the actress, who brought to life such offbeat, iconic characters as Young Frankenstein’s Frau Blücher and The Mary Tyler Moore Show’s Phyllis Lindstrom, “could slide into character, be it the dog or a random person, and [she’d] blow your mind,” Dinah recalls.
