Lyrics
BY YOUR SIDE
Verse 1
Long day, low pay ...I hear the whistle blow
It's been a tough week, and I'm beat ...Punch the clock and I hit the road
Ran a stop sign...Crossed the double line...Speeding like a crazy fool
Now I'm pulled aside...Big fine small price just to get to you
Pre-Chorus
I must confess, I get reckless
I might make a few mistakes
But I'll do whatever it takes to be (to get)
Chorus
By Your Side
Surfin on the TV, flipping through a magazine
By Your Side
Burnin up the loveseat,baby just you and me
By Your Side
Girl I just wanna be
By Your Side forever
Verse 2
A freight train...In my way ...With the gate steady coming down
I take a deep breath and cheat death ...Drive through at the speed of sound
Flashflood mudslide earthquake I don't mind...Nothins getting in my way
Shortcut through a corn field...Thinking how its gonna feel...When I marry you someday
Pre-Chorus
I'm day dreaming ...While I'm four wheeling
I'm grippin my wheel...holding on tight
I'm gonna love you with all my might when I'm
Chorus
By Your Side
Surfin on the TV, flipping through a magazine
By Your Side
Burnin up the loveseat, baby just you and me
By Your Side
You're my little cutie pie, my only reason why!
By Your Side forever
BRIDGE
Yeah the ride was crazy
But who could ever blame me
It was worth it for a girl like you
Yeah it was death defying
But there was no denying I'd be
Chorus
By Your Side
Surfin on the TV, flipping through a magazine
By Your Side
Burnin up the loveseat, baby just you and me
By Your Side
You're my little cutie pie, my only reason why!
By Your Side
I can't wait, baby just to get to you
