Hi guys
Sorry to flood the queue - don't see a lot of others posting these days!
This is up-tempo country - I'm thinking along the lines of CCR.
Any double-meaning in these lyrics is purely coincidental!  ;) ;)
Comments welcomed

Bumpy Ride
Copyright 2015 Tennyson Road Music

{vs}
Sun goes down
Just me and you
Drivin' 'round
Nothin' else to do
Streets are hot
Pavement's smooth
But this city's got
My little dump truck blue

So I took a glance
At your pretty face
Said "Let's take the ramp
Off the interstate
We'll head down highway
Forty five
See if we can find
A bumpy ride!"

{ch}
Goin' down
That old dirt road
Bounce around
Until we spill this load
Baby, better
Grab a hold on tight
Get yourself ready
For a bumpy ride!

You act surprised
When I spin the wheel
And steer us right
Into a big corn field
I kicked my Chevy
Into four wheel drive
Girl you know I'm ready
For a bumpy ride!

Goin' down
That old dirt road
Bounce around
Until we spill this load
Babe, you better
Keep a hold on tight
And get ready
For a bumpy ride!

{solo}

{build}
I'm so happy that you jumped inside
We're sprayin' mud 'n makin' gravel fly!
Got the country music cranked up high
And we're sh-shakin' everything in sight!

Baby, you better
Grab a hold on tight
And get ready
{drums}
For a b-bumpy
a b-b-b-bumpy

..ready
For a b-bumpy
a b-b-b-bumpy

..ready
For a b-bumpy ride!

Hi Paul,

This was a smooth read for a bumpy ride.

I liked the suggestive nature especially in the chorus. 

And the b-b-b-big finish!

Nice one,

Phil.
I don't know what i'm doing but i do it anyway.

Nice one my friend
Will make a good country song
One suggestion if that's okay
Maybe this would make the end of the intro  lyric a little more informative


The pavement's hot
Streets are smooth
Lets take a ride
In my dump truck blue

Power to your Music
Mike

        Hi Paulski,
           I didn't read this, i was singing it from the back seat. Love the inuendo, and loved the ride. It's plain to see that you've still got plenty of petrol in the tank. Now lets hear the music.

@PeeJay

Thanks for the positivity!
But suggestive ? I have no idea what you are on about!  ;D ;D

@Versewithfriends

Cheers - I'll think about that change - not sure about using "blue" as an adjective after the noun "truck"

@Vintage54

Glad you enjoyed the bumpy ride - hope you didn't spill your load.
What innuendo? You guys need to get your minds out of the gutter man!

cheers all
Paul

Hi benjo

Yeah - I guess a little dump truck might look different across the pond.
Here's a picture of this guy's truck - notice lots of room up front for bouncing around  :D



Thanks for the positive comments!
Paul

I thought of a dump truck you see on building sites at first.

That's quite a pimped up ride. Should have an ejector seat for if things don't work out!
I don't know what i'm doing but i do it anyway.
