about

Written by hit songcrafters Rick Huckaby (“Muddy Water”/ Trace Adkins) and Bernie Nelson (“Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind”/ Confederate Railroad), and produced by Bobby Randall (Sawyer Brown), the track is a playful, mid-tempo expression of adoring admiration and a confession to a hard-working, independent woman who’s every man’s dream.

Signifying the Texan’s heritage, the track opens with whining pedal steel and bending electric guitar licks. With an honest, disarming vocal style, Hodges highlights his ability to kick out smooth vocals with raspy tones adding depth and complexity to his performance. In keeping with the artist's country roots, Hodges speaks to generations new and old with a contemporary tune that's well suited for the dance floor.

"I learned early on that it’s just as important in a relationship to work hard as it is to work hard at having fun. The storyline is from a man’s perspective, recognizing the sex appeal of a hard-working, independent woman," said Hodges.

Cody Joe is a former member of the U.S. Army Military Intelligence. Stationed in Ft. Carson, CO for activity duty, his musical talents welcomed an invitation to audition for the Army vocal ensemble group, "Harmony In Motion.” Landing the audition, Hodges toured with the group performing at various, large entertainment events and private military functions.

Upon his honorable discharge (2009), Cody Joe worked as a power lineman. Four long years later, Hodges elected to pursue his music career as a full-time endeavor; the performer travels across the country to promote his music and entertain fans with an admiration for both traditional country and Texas music.

lyrics

Baby i know you work real hard
Forty hours every week
Then you come home and clean the house
Dont know how you find the time for me

But then I that come on look
You know it drives me plum insane
to see that crazy side of you
you know just what you do
love when you roll that way

Chorus
When you let your hair fall down
And you put your cares aside
When you come all unwound
I cant deny , makes me glad you're mine

When we go out on friday night
and you put on that little dress
shows the way that God made you
it aint fair I must confess

Because the other guys '
wish that they were in my place
You put on your little show
Wink at them before we go
love it when you roll that way

Chorus

And after we turn out the lights
You tell me its getting late
Just when I think that you're too tired
You find a way to light that fire
Love when you roll that way

Tag
Its almost more then I can stand
I know I'm a lucky man
love it when you roll that way
