If It Wasn't for Trucks - Riley Green - MP3 instrumental karaoke

As ubiquitous as beer and denim, the trusty truck is a faithful motif of contemporary country music, with a survey from Money.co.uk collecting the data to prove it: 6.25% of all country songs written since 2000 have referenced trucks. On his 2020 single – co-written with Randy Montana and Erik Dylan and featured on his 2020 EP of the same name – country singer-songwriter Riley Green takes the well-trodden path to truck-loving territory, reminiscing about the memories and moments he's made with his beloved motor vehicle by his side. "Where would I've first heard Merle? / Got the nerve to kiss a green-eyed girl? / Where would old dogs ride? / And where would life fly by?", he asks, positioning himself as the protagonist in his tale and making a reference to country legend Merle Haggard. Both reflective, freewheeling and upbeat, "If It Wasn't for Trucks" is a song built from the open road and sentimental feeling.
