Say That

VERSE 1 Yeah, leaning on the tailgate, looking at the stars Thinking ‘bout how lucky we really are. You looked at me with those baby blue eyes Caught me with a cold-drink, sweet surprise. Then you leaned in close, whispered in my ear Something that a country boy’s been waiting to hear. You said, "I think we need another round of this" Followed it up with a midnight kiss. PRE-CHORUS (Music: Bass kicks in with a heavy, melodic "thump") Oh, it hit me like a rhythm in a radio song Everything right and nothing wrong. My heart started knocking like a big base drum While trying to slow down when the morning comes CHORUS I was hoping you’d say that, baby, I was hoping you’d say that! Put a little momentum right where we’re at. Yeah, you’re reading my mind like a favorite line Making the stars and the moon align. Yeah, you said the words and I’m loving the fact That I was hoping you’d say that! Yeah, I was hoping you’d say that. VERSE 2 (Music: The beat gets bigger; more "stomp-clap" energy) So I put it in gear, let the tires roll Giving all the rhythm to my heart and soul. You reached for the knob, turned the volume up Sipping on the ice in a sonic cup. You said, "Let’s drive ‘til the map runs out" And that’s exactly what I’m talking about! You’re checking every box, you’re hitting every note Best kind of feeling that a man could ever know. CHORUS I was hoping you’d say that, baby, I was hoping you’d say that! Put a little momentum right where we’re at. Yeah, you’re reading my mind like a favorite line Making the stars and the moon align. Yeah, you said the words and I’m loving the fact That I was hoping you’d say that! BRIDGE (The Breakdown – Just a heavy kick-drum and a fuzzy electric guitar lick) It’s the right word! At the right time! Everything’s falling... Straight into line! Yeah, straight into line! OUTRO (I was hoping you’d say that) Yeah, baby. Whatcha think about that? Keep it rolling. [Final heavy beat drop]
