donnis – ford mustang (2011)

pretty nice track from the donnis camp. it’s too bad that in texas, the modern ford mustang is completely associated with high school and college girls. i didn’t listen to the lyrics too closely, but let’s just assume he’s talking about a classic mustang. much better. southern lights drops april 12th.
