Okay, so these are some songfics on the Phantom Stallion series. I'm totally open to suggestions on which song to do next, but be forewarned: I know only this music
Country

Annnnndddddd…. Country! Sorry! Well, here goes! Btw, I own nothing! Well, except maybe the bag of candy I'm eating…mmmmmmmmmm!
When I was a boy Four houses down from me Down the road
Was a family with an only child
She was the only girl
In this whole world that could make me smile
I made up reasons to go
Down the road
Jake stood in kitchen, eight years old, pulling on his mother's sleeve. "Mom, can I please go see Sam?"
His mother looked at him, hiding a small smile. "Jake, you were just there this morning," she said. "Don't overstay your welcome."
"But I….. uh….. I left my, I mean I left Witch's, um….. lead rope!" He said. It was a lie, and a bad one at that, but he wanted to go to Sam's house so badly!
His mother looked at him, smiling. She knew he was lying, but she could also see how badly he wanted to go hang out with Samantha Forster. "Okay, if you're back by dinner, you can go," she said.
He grinned and ran out the door. "Thanks mom!"
Somewhere inside of me Down the road
There was something she took a liking to
Well I asked her to marry me
She said she really wanted to
To see what life's gonna hold
Down the road
Fifteen years later, it was New Years Eve. Everyone was at Riverbend Ranch, shooting off fireworks and burning Christmas trees. Jake looked at Sam as another tree went up. With her back to the flame, she looked angelic. Her hair shimmered in the light, and she was surrounded by a golden glow. She smiled at him.
Right then, Jake made a decision. As she turned away, he checked his watch. 7:30. If he hurried, he could make it. He ran over to Jen. "I need your help. Now!" He said.
Jen stared at him. "What makes now so important? She asked.
"Because it is." He grabbed her arm and pulled her to his truck. "Come on, we're going to the mall. We have to get there before it closes."
She stared at him. "Jacob Ely, if you're doing what I think you're doing…" she smiled.
Jake stomped on the accelerator and sped off.
~One Hour Later~
Jake walked up to Sam as they put another tree in the fire. "Hey Brat," he said, giving her his lazy tomcat grin.
"Hey Jake," she said cheerfully. "Where ya been?"
"Oh, nowhere special." He took a deep breath. "Brat, I have to ask you something."
"What is it?" She asked.
He got down on one knee. Everyone turned and gasped. "Samantha Anne Forster," he said, loud enough everyone could hear. "Will you marry me?"
She looked down, tears in her eyes. "Yes. Yes! Oh God, yes!" She threw her arms around him and he spun her around. As the clock struck midnight, with the fireworks behind them, he leaned in.
"I love you Brat," he said. He leaned in and kissed her.
Her momma wants to know Down the road
Am I washed in the blood or just in the water
Her daddy wants to know
If I make enough to take his daughter
Before he can let her go
Down the road
Wyatt and Brynna walked up to Jake as he was getting ready to leave.
"Where you washed in the blood or the water," Brynna asked.
"The blood, ma'am," he said, secretly hoping they wouldn't make him take it back.
"How much do you make in a year?" Wyatt asked.
"Enough to support the both of us, plus Witch and Tempest," Jake said.
Wyatt nodded. "And you'll be good to her?"
Jake nodded frantically. "I'll do anything and everything to make her happy!"
Brynna smiled. "I think it's a great thing," she said.
"I think it is too," Wyatt said. He finally smiled. "If it makes Sam happy, I approve."
The two words Jake had wanted to hear more than anything in the world.
Now down the street from here Down the Road Her momma wants to know Down the Road
There's an engineer with an only son
And our baby girl says
She believes that he is the only one
Is he washed in the blood or just in the water
And I want to know
That he makes enough to take my daughter
When it comes time to go
Down the Road
Jake and Sam watched as their daughter, Bonnie, played with Jen and Ryan's son, Clyde.
"You know who they remind me of?" Sam asked.
"Who?"
"Us," she said.
He smiled and nodded. "The modern day Bonnie and Clyde."
Bonnie ran up as Clyde rode home on his palomino. "Clyde is my best friend!" she declared. Jake and Sam smiled and laughed.
Down the road Down, down, down that road Down, down, down that road
You know I want to help her go
down the road
Jake and Sam smiled and waved as Bonnie and Clyde rode down the road years later. Sam had tears in her eyes, and Jake hugged her. "She wanted this. We could always see it coming down the road."
Sam nodded. "I'm gonna miss her so much."
"She'll be back," he said. "I know it."
