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
