Neal Mccoy

I drove up form rivertown it was late September early October
Thought maybe I could clear my mind and see the leaves turn red
The tune's up and the windows down
Hallelujah what a beautiful morning
Were the first words that she said
Her eyes were blue as the sky on a perfect blue ridge day
She said I could use a lift if you're going my way and

I was I was headed south I was headed out
Headed nowhere or anywhere we waited to go
The road stretched out in front of us
And she was ready to run it just like I was

Told me she was twenty-two
And she'd just broken out of William and Mary
Another summer under her daddy's roof was all that she could do
Her boyfriend she cut him loose
Too cold for a wedding in January
She said that enough about me tell me about you
I rambled on about broken harts and staying too long
She said I'm sorry but you were right to move on and

I was I was headed south I was headed out
Headed nowhere or anywhere we waited to go
The road stretched out in front of us
And she was ready to run it just like I was

Ain't it funny how everything hinges on a twist of fate
She held my hand and said aren't you amazed and

I was I was headed south I was headed out
Headed nowhere or anywhere we waited to go
The road stretched out in front of us
And she ready to run it just like I was

Baby you made me, the happiest I could be.
Tonight when you told me, you're love is here to stay.
So I took out my calender, the second I got home.
And I wrote your name on every page.

I can see you Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday.
How 'bout Friday night?
We might as well spend the weekend
Gettin' all our plans just right.
'Cause now that I know together works for you,
Forever works for me.

Two weeks from Sunday, ten years from next Monday.
As long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter much.
We can go some place for away, or just stay home.
It feels so good to be in love.

I can see you Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday.
How 'bout Friday night?
We might as well spend the weekend
Gettin' all our plans just right.
'Cause now that I know together works for you,
Forever works for me.

'Cause now that I know together works for you,
Forever works for me.

January, Febuary, Summer, Fall and Spring.
Every week and every day, I'll give you anything.
'Cause now that I know together works for you,
Oh, 'cause now that I know together works for you,
Forever works for me.

Just like every lock's got to have a key
Every river flows looking for the sea
And when you plant a seed, it reaches for the sky
That's just the way it is, nobody wonders why
Like coffee needs a cup you know that it ain't much good without it
We were meant to be together, no doubt about it
Like a hammer and a nail, socks and shoes
We go hand in hand, like a rhythm and blues
What good is a man who hasn't got a dream
Bout as good as a car with no gasoline
You're the one I'm dreaming of got to have your love can't live without it
We were meant to be together, no doubt about it

No there ain't no doubt about it
Something was missing it was making me blue
But all I ever needed was you

Just like every lock's got to have a key
Every river flows lookin' for the sea
And when you plant a seed, it reaches for the sky
That's just the way it is, girl with you and I
Like coffee needs a cup you know that it ain't much good without it
We were meant to be together, no doubt about it
No there ain't no doubt about it

Like a hammer and a nail, socks and shoes
We go hand in hand, like a rhythm and blues
What good is a man who hasn't got a dream
'Bout as good as a car with no gasoline
You're the one I'm dreaming of got to have your love can't live without it
We were meant to be together, no doubt about it

I woke up this morning
My head fell dense
I splashed it with water tryin' to make it make sense
I stumbled to the kitchen
She was standing at the sink
All she had to do was just gimme that wink

(Chorus)
Slam-bam I'm feelin' alright
Troubles take a hike in the blink of an eye
Don't need to psychoanalyze or have a stiff drink
All she's gotta do is just give me that wink

Well it's her way of sayin' she's on my side
An unspoken message that works everytime
When my brain starts smokin'
And I can't even think
All she's gotta do is just give me that wink

(Repeat Chorus)

In this complicated world
It may sound absurd
But simple little things are the miracle cure
Push to the limit
I'm standin' at the brink
All she's gotta do is just give me that wink

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

There ain't no hearts
Gettin' one lost
In here tonight
Just the wrong kinda feeling
Gettin' passed around
From left to right

But if a slow dance to a sad song
Is all you need to pretend
Then darling, this is where forever begins

If your looking
For some kinda hero
To catch you
When you fall
Don't surprised if he ain't here call

But if your idea of forever
Is a string of one last dance
Then darling this is where forever begins

No you wont find rainbow ride
To a endless wishing well
Waisted your loving and time
In this be an un-fairytale

But if a slow dance to a sad song
Is all you need to pretend
Then darling, this where forever begins

But if your idea of forever
Is a string of one last dance
Then darling this is where forever begins

I was born dirt poor on a dead end country road
My every dream was to just grow up and go
Like a siren song those bright lights called my name
So I turned that country road into memory lane

Well I hit that fast lane it was paved with gold
But it wasn't long 'til my highbrow ways got old
I started missing things that I thought I'd left behind
'Til I found two swinging doors 'neath the neon sign

They were whirling and a twirling to the fiddles and a steel guitar
Them city folk was drinking from Mason jars
I think I found what paradise might be
The city put the country back in me

When you leave the farm you don't have to leave your room
Just go on home and slip on them cowboy boots
Now it's the best of both worlds all I'll ever need
The city put the country back in me

They were whirling and a twirling to the fiddles and a steel guitar
Them city folk was drinking from Mason jars
I think I found what paradise might be
The city put the country back in me
Yeah the city put the country back in me

Fresh off the farm just out of school
Face of an angel and nobody's fool
Turquoise boots Atlanta Braves hat
Denim and lace and you gotta love that

She rolled into town dreams in a sack
Old guitar in a blue Pontiac
She's taken a vow
She ain't turning back
She knows what she wants
And you gotta love that

Long way from home white picket fence
She turned down a ring from her old boyfriend
She didn't take a dime from even her dad
She's out on her own and you gotta love that

She rolled into town dreams in a sack
Old guitar in a blue Pontiac
She's taken a vow
She ain't turning back
She knows what she wants
And you gotta love that

She's tender and tough
There's a world behind those innocent eyes
Since she was a girl
She's been waiting for the day she can spread her wings and fly

She rolled into town dreams in a sack
Old guitar in a blue Pontiac
She's taken a vow
She ain't turning back
She knows what she wants
And you gotta love that

She rolled into town dreams in a sack
Old guitar in a blue Pontiac
She's taken a vow
She ain't turning back
She knows what she wants
And you gotta love that
Man you gotta love that

Some men are attracted to a pair of big blue eyes
It takes a pretty face to make their temperature rise
Looks aren't that important
Just icing on the cake
What really turns me on is the shake

Shake it to the left
Shake it to the right
Come on baby you know what I like
Shake it real funky shake it real low
Shake it 'til you can't shake it no more
It's a natural attraction
Mother nature wouldn't make a mistake
What really turns me on is the shake

Eve first said to Adam
Which outfit do you like
The maple or the fig leaf
Now honey they both look nice
Clothes don't mean that much to me
Maybe you better go and ask the snake
And what really turns me on is the shake

Shake it to the left
Shake it to the right
Come on baby you know what I like
Shake it real funky shake it real low
Shake it 'til you can't shake it no more
It's a natural attraction
Mother nature wouldn't make a mistake
What really turns me on is the shake

(Shake it)

Gary, Indiana
Mobile, Alabama
Phoenix, Arizona
Bismarck, North Dakota
New York, L.A.
Houston, Tampa Bay
London, Tokyo
Everywhere you go

Shake it to the left
Shake it to the right
Come on baby you know what I like
Shake it real funky shake it real low
Shake it 'til you can't shake it no more
It's a natural attraction
Mother nature wouldn't make a mistake
What really turns me on is the shake
What really turns me on is the shake
