Introduction
Let me tell you about a song that always puts a smile on my face—Alan Jackson’s “She Likes It Too.” If you’ve ever been in love, or even just had a crush, you’ll get why this one feels so special. It’s not just a country tune; it’s a celebration of those little things that make a relationship feel like home.
“She Likes It Too” is classic Alan Jackson—warm, genuine, and full of those everyday details that make his music so relatable. The song is all about a guy who’s a little bit of a rebel at heart. He loves his motorcycle, keeps his hair a bit too long for his dad’s liking, and cranks up the country music when his friends want to switch to rock. But here’s the twist: the girl he loves? She’s right there with him, loving all those things too. It’s like finding your perfect match, someone who doesn’t just put up with your quirks but actually enjoys them right alongside you.
What I love most about this song is how it captures the joy of shared passions. There’s something so comforting about knowing you don’t have to change who you are to be loved. The lyrics are playful and honest, painting a picture of young love and freedom—riding motorcycles, listening to country radio, and just being yourself. It’s the kind of story that makes you think about your own life and the people who “get” you, the ones who make even the simplest moments feel special.
Musically, “She Likes It Too” is pure country gold. The melody is catchy and upbeat, with that signature Alan Jackson twang that makes you want to tap your foot or sing along. The production is classic, blending acoustic guitar, steel guitar, and a laid-back rhythm that feels like a summer drive with the windows down. Jackson’s voice is as smooth as ever, bringing just the right mix of nostalgia and sincerity to every line source.
But beyond the sound, it’s the message that sticks with you. “She Likes It Too” is a reminder that the best relationships are built on acceptance and shared joy. It’s about finding someone who doesn’t just tolerate your weirdness—they celebrate it. And honestly, isn’t that what we’re all looking for?
Even decades after its release, the song still resonates. It’s a favorite on country radio and a staple at Alan Jackson’s concerts, proof that its message is timeless. Whether you’re a die-hard country fan or just someone who appreciates a good love story, “She Likes It Too” is the kind of song that makes you feel good about being yourself—and about finding someone who loves you for it.
So next time you hear it, turn it up and let yourself smile. After all, life’s a lot more fun when you’ve got someone riding shotgun who likes all the same things you do.

Lyrics
I got my first motorcycle when I turned sixteen
I remember my mamma raisin’ cane with me
She said, “Son, tell me why you wanna ride that thing?”
She didn’t know about the blonde at the Dairy Queen
I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like to ride motorcycles
And she likes it too
I like to ride motorcycles
And she likes it too
I always wore my hair just a little too long
And Daddy didn’t like it and he made no bones
If I’d gotten it cut like he wanted me to
She wouldn’t have had nothin’ left to run her fingers through
I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like to wear my hair long
And she likes it too
I like to wear my hair long
And she likes it too
I remember ridin’ around with my buddies back home
Listenin’ to some country on the radio
When they tried to change the station to some rock ‘n’ roll
I’d turn the Opry up just as loud as it’d go
I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like country music
She likes it too
Yeah, I like country music
She likes it too
Now I got a big Harley
And my hair is still long
And I’m still listening to a country song
I got my own reasons
Why I do what I do
I know what I like
She likes it too
I know what I like
She likes it too
Yeah, I know what I like
She likes it too
