Lyrics
Drive On
(J. Harkins/M. Dukes)
In the morning when I pack the car
Promise me you'll kiss me one last time
That you'll hold me and tell me all those little things
That made me wanna give you that diamond ring, like…
Chorus
"I honor you" and "I swear I do"
Empty words trapped in my mind
Yeah your heart has changed now I'm just not the one
I'll just close this door and drive
Drive On
A pretty white dress and a hundred friends of ours
Will never hear us say the words "I do"
Now I know that you no longer feel the same
And your children will never have my name
Chorus
No ponytails, no fairytales
No swing set in the yard
Cause you said last night that I'm not Mr. Right
I'll just close this door and drive,
Maybe it's time…to drive on.
No long goodbyes
Wipe your tear-filled eyes
I can't believe this day has come
Guess I'm movin' on and I won't turn around
I'll just close this door and drive
Drive on
"I swear I do"
"I still love you"

Little Red Barn
(J. Harkins)
We were young, you were shy
It was a moonlit April night
On a romantic hayride under the stars
I held you close, our lips met
Thought my heart would jump through my chest
Cause I felt the magic right there in your arms
I remember to this day, how we slipped away….to…
That Little Red Barn where we first made love
I swore I'd never let you go
From that Little Red Barn where we made our vows
And you stole my heart
And true love was found on that cool April night
Down on the farm….in that Little Red Barn
The years by, we hitched up
Had three kids, two jobs, and a truck
But somehow we kept that magic alive
Then one day on our way in to town
We saw them put that auction sign down
And somehow we knew that farm would be ours
I still think about the way we held hands and prayed…for…
Chorus
So many years have rushed by, yet each day our love it grows stronger
And it all started that night when our eyes sparkled with wonder….
And I kissed you once
Long ago, on a cool April night
Became a man and changed my life
In a creaky red building and a blanket of stars
Still some days after supper is gone
We take our chairs and sit on the lawn
And watch all the cars creep bye to the mall
Yea we got the call and we sold it all…except…
Chorus

Just You
(J. Harkins/M. Dukes)
Once upon a time I feared,
I might just spend my whole life alone.
I'd never really fallen in love,
Or had a special girl to call my own.
But like summer you came along
And you thawed my frozen heart with just one kiss
I never knew I could feel like this
I can't believe I've fallen in love…and girl it's you
All these feelings in my heart…they're all for you.
And I can see forever deep within your eyes
You gave me one good reason to give real love a try
It's you…Just you.
Just you can make me feel like a hero
Standing ten feet tall
And just you know how to hold me
And make the whole world seem so small
When we're alone together
I close my eyes and thank the lord you're mine
Your kiss is a blessing every time
I can't believe I've fallen in love…and girl it's you
All these feelings in my heart…they're all for you
And I can see forever deep within your eyes
You gave me one good reason to give real love a try
Just you
Cross your heart and tell me you feel it to
I want to spend my life just loving you, forever
I can't believe I've fallen in love…and girl it's you
All these feelings in my heart…they're all for you
And I can see forever deep within your eyes
You gave me one good reason to give real love a try
Just you
Girl it's just you
It's just you

Love's More
(J. Harkins)
Last night we had a bad fight, and we spit our anger out.
I still hear screamin' in my ears.
Seems we've forgotten all the good times, we just dwell on all the bad.
How'd we make it all these years?
Today you said you're leavin', and I have to wonder why.
I poured my heart out to you girl, I thought that we could try to show...
Chorus
Love's More than to golden rings, more than our worldly things.
Let's fall deeper every day.
"Forever" is the answer, when you ask what I'm fighting for.
Here's our chance to show Love's More.
So put down that suitcase, let me wipe away those tears.
Can I hold you one more time?
Today could be the first day, of something we both want.
For the rest of our lives.
I never stopped believin' that we could make this work.
If we put aside the friction, and bury all the hurt we show...
Repeat Chorus
I know that I've been lost and so afraid, but I am ready for this now.
Just look into my eyes and you will see a desperate man who needs you now...
Yea, last night we had a bad fight, but the world didn't end.
Just the weight has gone away.
We shared our deepest feelings, and we know right where we stand.
And today's a brand new day.
When love and understanding, and whole lotta trust.
Can start the kind of healing, we need to keep us "us" and show...
Chorus
Love's More than to golden rings, more than our worldly things.
Let's fall deeper every day.
We know Love's More than our spoken vows, you should know by now,
I'm in this all the way.
"Forever" is the answer, when you ask what I'm fighting for.
Here's our chance to show Love's More.

Pain of Love
(J. Harkins/M. Dukes)
She said she loved me but she couldn't stay,
Packed her bags and went on her way.
Left me here with a pile of bills
And her broken down old car.
She said she needed some time alone,
My days are empty now that's she's gone
I'm so afraid that she's just moved along
And left me with these scars.
Yea I've been cryin' since that girl left me,
Am I in love…how can that be?
Just one more tear and I'll be fine.
It helps to ease my mind…and the pain of love.
The bar is dark and the air smells stale
The country jukebox begins to wale
People dance and laugh and sing
While I just mind my own
I think I'll call her and say sweet things
Like "Hon, my feeling's they ain't never changed"
Hell all the sudden I'm feeling strange
And alone in this old bar
Yea I've been drinkin' since the break of dawn,
All my pain's about near gone.
Just one more beer and I'll be fine.
It helps to ease my mind…and the pain of love.
Why did she leave me?
What can I say?
I need to get her back,
I need here with me today.
Yea I been thinkin' that I'll win her back
Change her mind, get us on track.
Just one more chance and we'll be fine,
I'll have to ease her mind…
And her pain of love.

Ripley
(J. Harkins)
Well the first time I met Ripley, it was a cold, gray rainy night.
I was travellin' alone and I pulled off for a bite.
She was working weekends at the diner, to pay her way through school
I guess I fell for her when she waited on me that night.
As I drove away I felt the urge to turn my Ford around,
There was one more thing left on my mind that I wanted her to know…
I shoulda said...
Chorus
Ripley I love ya, believe it or not!
Since the moment I met you, my heart's been tied in knots.
Cause when I look in your eyes I realize the special heart you got
Ripley, I love ya…..believe it or not!
Every time that I saw Ripley, my feelings grew more and more.
I could feel love was taking a hold.
We were dancin' on the Midway at the summer county fair,
When I knew the day had come for her to know.
So I help my breath, and took her hand, and looked into her eyes.
Found the words as the courage came and I got down on my knees,
And then I said…
Chorus Bridge
Ripley just turned and rushed away without a word.
She left me kneeling there not knowing if she heard
My plea...to marry me...
Later that night when the telephone rang, I was surprised to see
Written right there in the palm of my hand, spelled on the caller ID.
She said "Hey boy, listen up. I've been thinkin' 'bout you all night."
"The answer's yes! I'll marry you, but I wanna get this right…"
And then she said...
Chorus 2
It's Ripley, and I love ya! Believe it or not!
Since the moment I met you, my heart's been tied in knots.
Tonight I looked in your eyes and I realized all the love you got.
It's all for me…and it's all that I want….oh, believe it or not!

Count on Me
(J. Harkins/M. Dukes)
Sometimes you pick a rose
And the thorns can make you bleed.
Sometimes you take a road
And you don't know where it leads.
Chorus
I wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one you need
Whenever it comes to life
You can always count on me
When life becomes too much
And you seem to lose your way
You'll need a friend who's there
And can come to save the day.
I wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one you love
Whenever it comes to life
You can always count on me
Bridge:Just close your eyes and take my hand
We'll fly away.
Just believe in me
And everything will be OK.
I wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one you need
Whenever it comes to life
You can always count on me
I wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one you love
Whenever it comes to life
You can always count on me

Kick It "Remix"
(J. Harkins)
Another week comes to an end,
My back is tired and so are my hands.
I punch the clock and I hit the door,
The weekend's what I'm workin' for.
So I turn on some Hank…
And I slide on my jeans.
I jump in the truck.
This is when it all begins…
Chorus
Hit the lights, pump the sound, take my hand, spin me 'round.
And baby get with it, and come on and let's kick it.
Feel the beat, start to sway, we can dance the night away.
And baby just shake it, an' come on and let's kick it.
My baby means the world to me.
Without her love where would I be?
She works so hard ev'ry day…
When Friday comes it's time to play.
That's when she takes my hand…
And she looks into my eyes.
I can feel the rush…
And my temperature starts to rise.
Chorus
Hit the lights, pump the sound, take my hand, spin me 'round.
And baby get with it, and come on and let's kick it.
Feel the beat, start to sway, we can love the night away.
And baby just shake it, and come on and let's kick it.
Bridge
I wanna kick it with you baby all night long,
Shake a leg 'til the break of dawn.
There's no better time for us to do it,
So come on baby…
Repeat chorus

Don't Leave Me Now
(J. Harkins)
There's a time for love, there's a time for sorrow.
There's a time when we just need to be alone.
Where's our happiness today?
Will it come tomorrow?
You'll have to be here if you really want to know.
There's so much I could say,
But if you're leaving anyway,
I'll say what my heart wants you to hear...
Chorus
Don't leave me now cause baby I love you,
You mean everything in the world to me.
Don't leave me now cause honey I need you.
You're my heart and soul, you're my destiny.
If I could have any girl in this whole world
I'd trade her in for you somehow....
Don't leave me now.
There's a time for hope and there's a time for faith.
And there's a time when we just need to walk away.
Are our dreams alive?
Or are we watching them fade?
Will tomorrow just become a memory.
I've got so much love today,
But if you're walking away,
I'll dream what my heart wants you to be...
Chorus
Don't leave me now cause baby I love you,
You mean everything in the world to me.
Don't leave me now cause honey I need you.
You're my heart and soul, you're my destiny.
If I could have any girl in this whole world
I'd trade her in for you somehow....
Don't leave me now.
Bridge
Don't leave, baby, don't go.
I'll love you forever and I want you to know...
Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus | Meant To Be Mine
(J. Harkins/M. Dukes)
I know you've said goodbye and packed your things
Now the cab's outside.
I can't believe you're leavin' me
No matter how hard I try.
There's just one thing that I want to say
Before you turn and walk away
Baby remember…
Love don't find everybody
So I thanked God the day that I found you
Take this ring as my promise incase you change your mind.
I'll be right here and I'll be waiting,
My mind's made up, you're the one
So baby think things through and take your time.
One day you'll come to see….you were meant to be mine.
Yea I know you don't believe me
And you say it's hard to understand
How can I be so sure that you're the one for me?
It's that look in your eyes.
The gentle sound of your voice
Since the day you first kissed me
I knew I had no choice.
There's just one thing that I want to say
Before you turn and walk away
I'll love you forever…
Love don't find everybody
So I thanked God the day that I found you
Take this ring as my promise incase you change your mind.
I'll be right here and I'll be waiting,
My mind's made up, you're the one
So baby think things through and take your time.
One day you'll come to see….you were meant to be mine.
Yea I know you don't believe me
And you say it's hard to understand
How can I be so sure that you're the one for me?
Take this ring as my promise
My mind's made up, you're the one
So baby think things through and take your time.
Look deep within your heart I know you'll find
One day you'll come to see….you were meant to be mine.
