  3. “Life is a Highway” by Rascal Flatts • Life's like a road that you travel onWhen there's one day here and the next day goneSometimes you bend, sometimes you standSometimes you turn your back to the wind…Come ride with me to the distant shore • Life is a highwayI wanna ride it all night longIf you're going my wayI wanna drive it all night long

  6. “Stereo Heart” by Gym Class Heroes If I was an old-school, fifty pound boomboxWould you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walkWould you turn my volume up in front of the copsAnd crank it higher every time they told you to stopAnd all I ask is that you don't get mad at meWhen you have to purchase mad D batteriesAppreciate every mixtape your friends makeYou never know, we come and go like on the interstateI think finally found a note to make you understandIf you can hit it, sing along and take me by the handT' keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tuneAnd know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you Chorus I only pray you'll never leave me behindBecause good music can be so hard to findI'll take your head and hold it closer to mineThought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind Chorus Chorus:My heart's a stereoIt beats for you, so listen closeHear my thoughts in every noteMake me your radioAnd turn me up when you feel lowThis melody was meant for youTo sing along to my stereoIf I was just another dusty record on the shelfWould you blow me off and play me like everybody elseIf I asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that?Travie, I can handle thatFurthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracksIt's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracksI used to used to used to used to, now I'm over thatCause holding grudges over love is ancient artifactsIf I could only find a note to make you understandI'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the handsTo keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tuneAnd know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you Chorus
