Cool Clover

I wrote this song while in the dorms at Belmont. The first version below was recorded at Belmont in the basement studios with friends and band members. The second was recorded as part of my Shadow of a Dream project.
Belmont Version
Shadow of a Dream Version

I’m going to jump in my truck/ Going to pick her up/ Goi-ing a’ cruise all over town/ Then we’ll take it to the coun-try/ And well get real snuggly/ When we roll those win-dows down/ If she’s got to see the levy/ In my 4×4 Chevy/  We can take it out through the field/ Run it through the Cool Clover/ And up the hill and over/ To the place that we both know. 

Chorus: Now when it’s me and you/ There’s nothing we can’t do/ When the moon is shining bright/ You know-there’s nothin’ better than you and me together/ So baby just hold on tight/ I got a full tank of gas and I think it will last/ For whatever you got in mind/ No need for hesitation cause there ain’t no reservations/ Oh baby I’m yours to-night. 

Ah give me a little kiss honey’s all I wish/ I’ll take you any where you want to go/ They say that life is a stage well I’m here to say/ That baby you can run my show/ Just give me your directions/ There won’t be any questions/ We’ll just hit that open road/ Run it through the Cool Clo-ver/ And up the hill and over/ To the place that we both know. 

Chorus: 

Bridge: Baby, I’m yours, baby I’m yours/ Like a guitar string/ You pick me and I’ll sing/ Honey for you all night long. 

Now if you gotta move your feet/ To that country beat/ We can take it out to the barn/ We’ll stomp in the hay/ While the music plays/ Honey baby all night long/ We’ll walk that floor/ Till it can’t take no more/ Then we’ll hit that open road/ Run it through the Cool Clover/ And up the hill and over/ To the place that we both know.
