I wrote the lyrics to this song in 2005. My favorite thing at the time was driving with my bride by my side. It is still one of my favorite things. Let me know what you think.

By My Side

Verse 1:

The sun is shining through my window. I can feel its sting on my arm.

The radio’s up, music blasting, I’m singing the words to every song.

There you are beside me, feet up hair blowing in the wind

We’re racing down the interstate ready to see what’s hiding around the bend.

Chorus:

It’s a good day, riding with my baby

Petal to the floor and the road flying by

There is no other place that I’d rather be heading

Than down this road with my baby by my side.

Verse 2:

Out here on this road there is nothing that can stop us

Nothing in our way blocking our path

It’s just you and me out here with our freedom

Driving hand in hand hoping the daylight will last

Chorus:

It’s a good day, riding with my baby

Petal to the floor and the road flying by

There is no other place that I’d rather be heading

Than down this road with my baby by my side.

Bridge:

Though the day is getting late, we just keep on driving

Running as fast as we can, so happy to be alive

Chorus:

It’s a good day, riding with my baby

Petal to the floor and the road flying by

There is no other place that I’d rather be heading

Than down this road with my baby by my side.
