HAND ON MY HEART
(Snyder/Combs)

(WE GOT THIS)
MY JETS ARE GOIN’ AND THAT AIN’T SHIT
IT DOESN’T MATTER ‘CAUSE I’M NOT GONNA QUIT
AFTERBURNERS GOIN’ AND I’M COOL IN MY SEAT
NOTHINGS GONNA STOP ME ‘TIL I SEE YOUR SWEET

(OH, YOU LOOK SO GOOD)
I GOT MY HAND ON MY HEART
YOU GOT ME FROM THE START
YOU KNOW, I GOT MY HAND ON MY HEART

WE’RE GOING TO THE SHOW IN MY ELECTRIC CAR
THE BAND IS UP AND COMING AND UNDER THE RADAR
IT’LL BE A FUN NIGHT FOR ALL TO BE HAD
AFTER WE ARRIVED IT’S A BLUR, BUT NOT BAD

I TOOK A SHORT CUT HOME IN THE RAIN
IT WAS WINDY AND COLD AND A REAL PAIN
MY TIRES SPUN ON THE SLICK DIRT ROAD
WHAT I DIDN’T SEE WAS THE OLD, OLD

(I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT WAS)
I GOT MY HAND ON MY HEART
OH, IT GOT ME FROM THE START
YOU KNOW, I GOT MY HAND ON MY HEART
(IT GOT ME) IT GOT ME FROM THE START
I GOT MY HAND ON MY HEART, OH, OH

Ron Snyder & Combstead - HAND ON MY HEART (Original Song)

This is a song that I wrote about my drive to and from work through 30 miles of traffic each way, five days per week. 

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT
(Ron Snyder)

I’M TRYING TO SHARE THE ROAD
AND AM ALWAYS BOXED IN
THE ROAD IS CLEAR AHEAD OF ME
EXCEPT I AM HELD WITHIN

DRIVERS IN THEIR OWN LITTLE WORLD
THAT DON’T HAVE A CLUE
ONCE A POKE ALWAYS A POKE
SOMETHING I KNOW TO BE TRUE

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN

I’M TRYING TO GET THERE
AND THEY’RE ALL AROUND ME
NOTHING’S GETTING BY THEM
AND I WANT TO BREAK FREE

I LOOK FOR AN OPENING
AND THERE IS NOTHING THERE
WHY ARE YOU IN THE LEFT LANE
I NEED TO GO ON A TEAR

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN


-----------  GUITAR JAM ------------------------


DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN

THE DRIVING’S BEEN TOUGH
LIKE IN A VIDEO GAME
WHEN YOUR TIME IS ON THE LINE
YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME

DRIVING LIKE YOU’RE ON A MISSION
IS YOUR ONLY HOPE
EXCEPT FOR ALL THE DAYDREAMERS
THAT CAUSE A REAL CHOKE

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN
CHICAGO TRAFFIC (3X)
IT REALLY GETS YOU DOWN
