Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road” passed Leroy Van Dyke’s “Walk on By” to set the new record. Dyke’s song remained at the top of the Hot Country Songs chart for 19 consecutive weeks. However, it is Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise” that holds the record for the most weeks, in general, at No. 1 on the chart. The song spent 24 weeks at the top in 2012 and 2013, but not for consecutive weeks.

Hunt wrote his recent hit song with Zach Crowell, Josh Osborne and Shane McAnally. His engagement to now-wife Hannah Lee Fowler helped inspire the song. It turned into a short, laid-back song with lyrics that match its flirtatious but mellow tune. The singer-songwriter said that the new track helped “lighten up” his second studio album, which was starting to have heavy content. It is still a work in progress.

“I’ve been writing songs over the past, I guess, year and a half, trying to conceptualize a new record, and it kinda started taking a heavy direction, and I sat down at one point and was like, ‘Okay, I’m gonna lighten this up a little bit, it needs a lighter flair,'” Hunt recalled. “[“Body Like a Back Road”] sort of swings, and hopefully it’s easy to listen to and will put a smile on some folks’ faces.”

Body Like a Back Road Lyrics

Got a girl from the Southside
Got braids in her hair
First time I seen her walk by
Man I ’bout fell up out my chair
Had to get her number
It took me like six weeks
Now me and her go way back
Like Cadillac seats
Body like a back road
Drivin’ with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doin’ 15 in a 30
I ain’t in no hurry
I’ma take it slow just as fast as I can
The way she fit in them blue jeans
She don’t need no belt
But I can turn ’em inside out
I don’t need no help
Got hips like honey
So thick and so sweet (Man)
Ain’t no curves like hers
On them downtown streets
Body like a back road
Drivin’ with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doin’ 15 in a 30
I ain’t in no hurry
I’ma take it slow just as fast as I can
We’re out here in the boondocks
With the breeze and the birds
Tangled up in the tall grass
With my lips on hers
On a highway to heaven
Headed south of her smile
Get there when we get there
Every inch is a mile
Body like a back road
Drivin’ with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doin’ 15 in a 30
I ain’t in no hurry
I’ma take it slow just as fast as I can
I’ma take it slow
Just as fast I can (Body like a back road)
(Drivin’ with my eyes closed)
Got braids in her hair (I know every curve like the back of my hand)
