I Miss You

Kickin’ Up a Good Thing by Tony Gibbs
All rights reserved © ℗ 2025 Tony Gibbs

Saw you standin’ by the jukebox glow,
Boots crossed, just like the star of the show.
You tossed me that grin with a little bit o’ dare,
Said, “If you wanna dance, boy, meet me out there.”
Well, who am I to argue with a look like that?
Your rhythm hit my chest like a baseball bat.

I stepped in close, you pulled me tight,
And suddenly the world felt right—
Yeah, everything clicked tonight—

’Cause we’re kickin’ up a good thing, baby,
Spinnin’ on the floor like the wind on the daisies.
Kickin’ up a good thing, maybe
This little two-step’s ‘bout to drive me crazy.
You turn, I follow — girl, you’re smooth as a breeze,
Movin’ like you’re born to put a man on his knees.
Yeah, we’re kickin’ up a good thing, baby—
Kickin’ up a good thing, maybe.

The band keeps pumpin’ that rockin’ beat,
Boot heels tappin’ like a thousand feet.
You slide to the left, take my hand in yours,
Laughin’ like we’ve danced here many times before,
Your hair swings loose with every turn we make,
And darlin’, I swear my heart’s about to break—

’Cause girl, when you lean in just right,
I swear you light the whole damn night—
And I’m holdin’ on good and tight—

We’re kickin’ up a good thing, baby,
Spinnin’ on the floor like the wind on the daisies.
Kickin’ up a good thing, maybe
This little two-step’s ‘bout to drive me crazy.
You turn, I follow — girl, you’re smooth as a breeze,
Movin’ like you’re born to put a man on his knees.
Yeah, we’re kickin’ up a good thing, baby—
Kickin’ up a good thing, maybe.

Don’t stop now, keep rollin’ on,
Got a feelin’ this spark is strong.
If this dance keeps lastin’ long,
We might write ourselves a country song…

Kickin’ up a good thing, baby,
Spinnin’ on the floor like a county parade is.
Kickin’ up a good thing, maybe
We’re the kind of match that the good Lord made us.
You turn, I follow — girl, you’re smooth as a breeze,
Stealin’ every thought I’ve got with nothin’ but ease.
Yeah, we’re kickin’ up a good thing, baby—
Kickin’ up a good thing, maybe.

Kickin’ Up a Good Thing (Two-step)

This one came out of the cold wind on a campus morning when students lifted their own voices higher than the cranes and the suits. “UMass Sunrise” follows that spark as it spreads, from garage rooftops to paint-stained hands, from questions about money to a call for honest stewardship. The Americana Project sings it the way young folks march it, steady and clear, carrying a tradition of standing up for the place they love.

A new one from the Americana Project. “UMass Sunrise” rises from rooftops, banners, and students asking where their future is headed. A steady, spirited call for care, honesty, and the voice of the people.

(Verse 1)
Well, we climbed that garage in the cold December wind,
Fifty kids with bed-sheet banners and a message to send,
Forty feet of thrift-store fury hangin’ bold and bright,
Said “This school’s on our shoulders, boys, so turn on the light!”

(Chorus)
UMass Sunrise, risin’ up slow,
Where’s all our money, where’d it go?
Chancellor’s pocket’s gettin’ fat and wide,
While we stitch our dreams on the poor side!
Hey hey, UMass Sunrise,
Standin’ on our pockets, open up your eyes!

(Verse 2)
They gave ol’ Reyes a million reasons to grin,
While the classrooms crack and the adjuncts wear thin,
We walked out last month, got fifteen minutes of fame,
Then they sent up the suits sayin’ “That ain’t the game.”

(Chorus)
UMass Sunrise, risin’ up slow,
Where’s all our money, where’d it go?
From the sheets on our beds to the paint on our hands,
We’re buildin’ a movement across these lands!
Hey hey, UMass Sunrise,
Standin’ on our pockets, open up your eyes!

(Verse 3)
Come the first Friday we’ll be back in the fray,
Till the first of May when the students won’t stay,
From Amherst to everywhere the young folks sing,
If the university won’t listen, let the whole campus ring!

(Chorus – final, full voice)
UMass Sunrise, risin’ up slow,
Where’s all our money, where’d it go?
We’re the clients, the future, the heart and the soul,
Give us back our say, give us back control!
Hey hey, UMass Sunrise,
Standin’ on our pockets, open up your eyes!


UMass Sunrise
