Enjoy the Ride

Count on Me

(J. Birchfield, K. Manna)

 

You thought forever

Was all you’d ever go

You thought you’d fallen

As far as you could fall

But you didn’t count on me

 

Dancin’ one more dance

Wasn’t in your plans

You couldn’t find the strength

To hold another’s hand

But you didn’t count on me

Girl you didn’t count on me

 

There aint been much

love to pull you through

Girl if you let me

I’m gonna make it up to you

I’m Standing here now

I’m not the kinda man whose gonna leave

You can count on me

 

Have you ever dreamed of a porch swing night

With some moonlight in the wine

Someone who’s gonna pour it out

And lay it on the line

Did you count on me?

 

Did you ever dream of ridin’ down

a Carolina road?

Leanin’ on a man who loves you

More than you’ll ever know

Did you count on me?

Bet you didn’t count on me

 

There aint been much

love to pull you through

Girl if you let me

I’m gonna make it up to you

Standing here now

I’m not the kinda man whose gonna leave

You can count on me

Betcha didn’t count on me

 

(solo)

 

There aint been much

love to pull you through

Girl if you let me

I’m gonna make it up to you

Standing here now

I’m not the kinda man whose gonna leave

Cause you can count on me

You can count on me

 

 

 

Enjoy the Ride

(J. Birchfield)

 

Well I just met a girl that stole my soul

She’s got eyes of hazel and hair of coal

She’ll take you all the way to Heaven

In just one night

And leave you prayin’ for forgiveness

In the mornin’ light

 

She might be the death of me

You might think she’s not my kind

But you should fell the way I feel

When she looks into my eyes

You’d give it all up

You’d cash it all in

Say good-bye to your peace of mind

Throw caution to the wind

And just enjoy the ride

 

She’s as wild as a copperhead soft like rain

A direct descendent from the Dalton Gang

She’ll steal your heart with just one touch

Ya know the girl can’t help it

Cause It’s in her blood

 

(Chorus)

 

(Solo)

 

Well I love to watch her dance

And she likes to hear me sing

She puts the rhythm in my heart

And the twang in my strings

She want’s me all to herself at the end of the show

So she can take me back home

And do the dose-doe

 

She might be the death of me

You might think she’s not my kind

But you should fell the way I feel

When she looks into my eyes

You’d give it all up

You’d cash it all in

Say good-bye to your peace of mind

Throw caution to the wind

And just enjoy the ride

Throw caution to the wind

Just enjoy the ride

 

Shootout Saturday Night

(J. Birchfield, K. Manna)

 

The blood in their veins is gasoline

4 Barrel carbs to help em breath

Engines screamin at the heart of speed

43 gunners, driven 800 horses

Come on now let’s make us some noise

 

It’s a Shootout Saturday Night

Gonna last till Sunday

Talkin’ big money

It’s a Shootout Saturday Night

Six gun showdown

Takin over speed town

Gotta hang tough it’s a helluva fight

Shootout Saturday Night

 

It’s fast and it’s tough and it’s laced with oil

Wound up tight as a rattlesnakes coil

It’s one badass green and white

Checkered world

It’s revved up girls, and it’s beer and it’s sweat

It’s double or nothing when you place your bet

 

It’s a Shootout Saturday Night

Gonna last till Sunday

Talkin’ big money

It’s a Shootout Saturday Night

Six gun showdown

Takin over speed town

Gotta hang tough it’s a helluva fight

Shootout Saturday Night

 

Lika an angry train gone wrong

Goin on and on

and on and on

and on and on

and on

 

It’s a Shootout Saturday Night

Gonna last till Sunday

Talkin’ big money

It’s a Shootout Saturday Night

Six gun showdown

Takin over speed town

Gotta hang tough it’s a helluva fight

Shootout Saturday Night

 

Shootout Saturday night

 

 

 

Drive-in Nights

(J. Birchfield, K. Manna)

 

Put on that Cotton dress

You know the blue one that I like

We’re gonna do some things

We haven’t done in a long time

 

Down the road of one last kiss

We can two-lane reminisce

Try to get away

From the way it is

 

Baby all you gotta do is smile at me

Cause that’s what I miss

 

That always takes me back

To when the wheels were on the track

When love was simple and easy to find

And your kisses tasted like moonshine

Under Neon Lights

And Drive-in Nights

 

How bout that county fair

Ride that carnie Farris wheel

We got stuck on top

So we drank those two warm beers

 

The fortune lady read our palms

Said you’d marry a guy named Don

Then she called the cops

When you smashed her crystal ball

 

Baby you still got that fire in your eyes

Like I’m all you want

 

Chorus

 

Makin’ out at the Starlight Drive-in

Never knowin when to say no

Or when to say when

You were the one

Who made me feel like a star

 

Solo

 

Baby all you gotta do is smile at me

Cause that’s what I miss

 

Chorus

 

 

 

Claremont Café

(J. Birchfield)

 

Who’s next?

Becomes your name

When you walk in through that screen door

Aint’ got a waitress

You know they don’t credit cards

Their ice tea’s so sweet

They’ve never heard of Equal

Their specialty is a burger with cheese

With Chili mustard onions and coleslaw

 

You say you’re nervous

You’re not sure what to do

Just be patient

Till it comes down to you

When you finally arrive

At the head of that line

Shout it out without a doubt

Let it come from deep inside

 

Halleluiah

I’ll take it all the way

I’ve got to have that

Special grease

Burnin’ in my veins

Halleluiah

Well this is my judgement day

After just one bite

I’ve finally seen the light

At the Claremont Café

 

Solo

 

It ain’t no secret

Bout where you been

It’s not because you got that

Chili on your chin

Cause they smelled the aroma

From halfway down the hall

SO when you walk on by

Raise your hands up high

Testify to them all

 

Halleluiah

Well I took it all the way

I’ve got to have that

Special grease

Burnin’ in my veins

Halleluiah

Well this is my judgement day

After just one bite

I’ve finally seen the light

At the Claremont Café

 

After just one bite

I’ve finally seen the light

At the Claremont Café

 

After just one bite

I’ve finally seen the light

At the Claremont Café

 

Amen-

When You Say Yes

(J. Birchfield, K. Manna)

 

When you say yes

I’m gonna write you a love song

One your hearts never heard

 

When you say yes

I’ll send you flowers every Friday

With a card that doesn’t need any words

 

You’re like the dream

I can’t stop dreaming

The forever that never ends

When you say yes

 

I won’t take it for granted

The way your hair falls in your eyes

We’ll be the best

Even when the storms find us

Cause I will be here by your side

 

You’ll be all my days

And all my sunsets

My lover, and my best friend

When you say yes

 

Now things are changing

With these promises and vows

But I swear I won’t

Let you down

 

When you say yes

I’m gonna sing you a love song

Till you fall asleep every night

You won’t have to guess

If I really love you

Cause I will be here by your side

 

When you say yes….

 

Say yes
