What We're Gonna Do
Copyright July 1997
by Cory Cavill Tompkins

Verse 1

Two of a kind, too far from home
two country girls, the seasons turned round.
They found themselves tied in town.
Laughin', singin', cryin', woryin together
'bout life's unknowns.
Till one day they left notes on the table.
They were headed to the country.
They were headed - out.

Chorus

Give me that horse.
We're takin' the reins
gonna decide our own courses for a change.
Yippee Aiiy
Whooped dee doo ooh ooh, ooh
Gonna open our arms wide to the sky.
Gonna holler at the moon
and honey you won't have a clue
what we're gonna do.

Verse 2

True friends are few and far between
but a true friend will till like you should be told
that you've gotta go after your dreams.
Waitin', worryin', wondrin', wanting
won't get you anywhere.
Life can't only kill you, but it can decide.
Start livin' those dreams.
Get off your - behind.

Chorus
