Lyrics
Verse 1
More times than not
When school is out the summer kicks off
You’ll be back in town down by the docks
Where the dress code everybody knows is cut offs and flip flops
Came to the place where we always meet
Like your leading man in a movie scene
Everyone can see that you and me are getting ready to leave
Chorus
More times than not we’ll start it off with a lil Toby Keith
He’s gone but his songs still ride along with me
Say goodbye with the horn on my jeep beep beep
We got our friends all laughing
As we sit side by side under big blue skies
For a summertime ride man I’m a lucky guy
My smile grand canyon wide cause I feel
I got the whole 9
Verse 2
More times than not, right at the top of my list
Girl I think about us when ever I reminisce
I’m ready to commit to what ever this is
When you kiss me like this
Chorus
More times than not we’ll start it off with a lil Toby Keith
He’s gone but his songs still ride along with me
Say goodbye with the horn on my jeep beep beep
We got our friends all laughing
As we sit side by side under big blue skies
For a summertime ride man I’m a lucky guy
My smile grand canyon wide cause I feel
I got the whole 9
More times than not
More times than not
If you’re all I got
I got a lot
Bridge
More times than not I’ll still be around
When you move back, back to this town
I’m waiting to just get another shot
To pick up where we left off
More times than not
When school is out the summer kicks off
You’ll be back in town down by the docks
Where the dress code everybody knows is cut offs and flip flops
Came to the place where we always meet
Like your leading man in a movie scene
Everyone can see that you and me are getting ready to leave
Chorus
More times than not we’ll start it off with a lil Toby Keith
He’s gone but his songs still ride along with me
Say goodbye with the horn on my jeep beep beep
We got our friends all laughing
As we sit side by side under big blue skies
For a summertime ride man I’m a lucky guy
My smile grand canyon wide cause I feel
I got the whole 9
Verse 2
More times than not, right at the top of my list
Girl I think about us when ever I reminisce
I’m ready to commit to what ever this is
When you kiss me like this
Chorus
More times than not we’ll start it off with a lil Toby Keith
He’s gone but his songs still ride along with me
Say goodbye with the horn on my jeep beep beep
We got our friends all laughing
As we sit side by side under big blue skies
For a summertime ride man I’m a lucky guy
My smile grand canyon wide cause I feel
I got the whole 9
More times than not
More times than not
If you’re all I got
I got a lot
Bridge
More times than not I’ll still be around
When you move back, back to this town
I’m waiting to just get another shot
To pick up where we left off
