Don't worry, I won't flood the board with all my tunes for www.rpmchallenge.com this month (ha, ha).

Pretty standard country formula song (Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Break-Bridge-Chorus). I modulated at the end to give it a little more drive. I might try and add more electric rhythm guitar early on and percussion to give it even more pep, but I have to set it aside for right now -- I've got 12 songs to record before the end of the month.

Driving around, the top’s flipped down
I got a feeling something big’s gonna happen
Everyone says there’s nothing to do in this town
But I know that just isn’t true
Cause I know what my baby and I are gonna do

We’re Going down to Poplar Drive
gonna take my girl along for a ride
Hair thrown back
and we’re feeling alive
we’re going down to Poplar Drive
going down to Poplar Drive

Get to where we’re going and w're feeling so free
I’m looking at her and she’s looking at me
We’re laughing at all those folks who say
that you gotta leave town to be cool
I guess we’re happy being fools, cause

We’re Going down to Poplar Drive
gonna take my girl along for a ride
Hair thrown back
and we’re feeling alive
we’re going down to Poplar Drive
going down to Poplar Drive

(Instrumental Break)

(Bridge) So it’s been 10 years and we’re still in this town
We’re still laughing, we haven’t forgot how
I say “What do you want to do with the kids tonight?”
She’s just gives me that look and says “How about…”

Going down to Poplar Drive
gonna take my girls along for a ride
Hair thrown back
and we’re feeling alive
we’re going down to Poplar Drive
going down to Poplar Drive
