Scott Malcom: Music

By My Side

(Scott Malcom)

from Irrational Disposition album

When things are good, they're good!

Something about the way your face is always smiling.

You're facing forward and you hand is on my knee.

Your favorite band is on. No, I don't really like 'em.

Just keep it playing. That's alright by me.

 

We're headed up the road. We're gonna see the family.

Somebody's cookin' and I'm ready to eat.

Ladies are playing cards; the men do something manly.

I got my hoodie and some socks are on my feet.

 

Now that you're here and now that I'm lookin' at cha,

You know you really really made my day.

Now that you're here, my little acka backa soda cracker,

There's only one thing left for me to say, and it's....

 

I do and I will and I can if my mind stands still.

I don't see no problem here with you by my side.

 

I never thought I'd find a place like this,

A place so safe where I can hide.

I don't even miss the things I used to miss.

I'm buckled up; I'm ready for the ride.

 

We're headed up the road; we're gonna see a movie.

You're facing forward and your hand is on my knee.

No need to look around to see the junk behind me.

Those days are over; that's alright by me.

 

Now that you're here and now that I'm lookin' at cha,

You know you really really made my day.

Now that you're here, my little acka backa soda cracker,

There's only one thing left for me to say, and it's....

 

I do and I will and I can if my mind stands still.

I don't see no problem here with you by my side
