Come on Baby, Come and Ride with Me

A little something inspired by the Florida Sunshine and country music I heard last week....


Come and Ride with Me


Ridin' 'round with the top down
Florida sunshine erasin' my frown
Zac Brown blaring from the sound bar
Knowin' my paradise ain't too far

Drivin' down Duval under clear blue skies
That's when I spotted her brighter blue eyes
Shinin' like diamonds in the Key West sun
Pulled that Jeep to the curb knowin' she's the one

I yelled out

Come on baby come and ride with me
Jump on in and you'll see
You don't know me yet
But I promise you this
You and I were meant to be

She looked at me with a laugh and a grin
Sayin' boy if it's me you wanna win
Gonna have to do better than that
And that's when I lifted my hat

Honey let me tell you I'll sing you a song
While we're cruisin' along
In no time flat you'll be holdin' my hand
Walkin' side by side in the sand

And I yelled out
 
Come on baby come and ride with me
Jump on in and you'll see
You don't know me yet
But I promise you this
You and I were meant to be

Well it might have been my smile
'Cause she only stood a while
When she climbed in through my door
And kicked her sandals off on my floor

Before I knew it we were drivin' away
There was nothin' left for us to say
We rode down to the pier to watch the sunset
But we weren't in paradise yet

In the dyin' light of the Key West sun
I knew I'd found me my one
I put my arm around her and she moved in tight
Both of us feelin' alright

She looked at me and man her eyes shined
In that moment I knew she was mine
I pulled her close and kissed those ruby red lips
She was on her toes with her hands on my hips

And I yelled out

Come on baby come and ride with me
Jump on in and you'll see
You don't know me yet
But I promise you this
You and I were meant to be

Come on baby come and ride with me
Jump on in and you'll see
You don't know me yet
But I promise you this
You and I were meant to be

Right then and there
We danced in the square
Fallin' head over heels in love
Our hearts together
Now and forever
Fit like a hand and a glove

And we yelled out

Come on baby come and ride with me
Jump on in and you'll see
You don't know me yet
But I promise you this
You and I were meant to be

Come on baby come and ride with me
Jump on in and you'll see
You don't know me yet
But I promise you this
You and I were meant to be
