Like most of Paisley’s song lyrics, “Ticks” was written in an antiphonal style wherein successive lines link up, often forming semi-sexual entendre and plays on words.
It’s the first single off Paisley’s 2007 album, 5th Gear.
[Verse 1]
Every time you take a sip
In this smoky atmosphere
You press that bottle to your lips
And I wish I was your beer
And in the small there of your back
Your jeans are playing peekaboo
I'd like to see the other half
Of your butterfly tattoo
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, that gives me an idea
Well, let's get out of this bar
Drive out into the country
And find a place to park
[Chorus]
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks
[Verse 2]
I know the perfect little path
Out in these woods I used to hunt
But don't worry, babe, I've got your back
And I've also got your front
Now, I'd hate to waste a night like this
I'll keep you safe, you wait and see
The only thing allowed to crawl all over you
When we get there is me
[Pre-Chorus]
You know every guy in here tonight
Would like to take you home
But I've got way more class than them
Babe, that ain't what I want
[Chorus]
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks
[Bridge]
Now, ooh, you never know where one might be
And, ooh, there's lots of place that are hard to reach
I gotcha
[Chorus]
I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you, baby, way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks
Oh, I'd sure like to check you for ticks
[Outro]
