The Jeep Song

Story Behind The Song

I spent 14 months in Townsville, Australia writing ads for a radio station. When I moved in to my unit I was happy to find I was living below an American girl who was completing her honors degree at the local university. We started out as friends but just when it had evolved into something great, she had to go back to the states because she graduated. I wrote this song with intentions of sending it to her to play in her Jeep as she drove around, in order to remind her how much fun we had and to encourage her to not rule out coming back. Lyrically, it is the song I am most proud of. I wrote it in a few hours and the rhymes kept coming. And the fact that it all means something and it's not simply rhyming for whatever would sound cool, is something I'm really pleased with. Influences for this song are Nelly (for the rhythm), Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Craig David, and the old Motown sound.

Lyrics

I see a fair girl in a Jeep with the top down wearing a braid in her hair making people stare her stereo blaring on her way she?s on her way
She shares a smile that might out-bright the sun up there glaring ain?t no care in this world for this girl there ain?t no comparin? to today cos she?s on her way
Back to my arms she?s on her way

She lived up stairs from the boy down under and wondered if she came in and gave in to her cravin? would he ask her to stay and play... what could I say
Now she?s in love he can?t get enough of his above neighbour sooner or later them favours made them cave in and they were? do I have to say
So back to my arms she?s on her way

All I wanna do is be anywhere with you tonight
If you don?t have me in your bed play my music instead tonight
Cos girl I?m missin? you wishin? I was kissin? you again
But I don?t want you to be lonely when you only know me as your man

She?s gone Sharisse?s thesis done now she seems at peace is this the lover who could give her brothers nephews and nieces someday cos I?m here to stay
So back in her Jeep she bops in her seat to the beat at a street light it?s a sight so sweet cos she treats everything like everything?s all right now she?s on her way
Back to my arms she?s on her way
