Backstory:

Nicole was a little frustrated at someone who had been trying to build up a relationship with her just so the person could hang around her and get swept up in Nicole's rise up the ladder. This song was one of the more challenging songs I have ever been a part of. It took us four hours just to come up with the hook. But it was worth it.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Coattail Rider
John Cirillo (ASCAP)/Sam Gyllenhaal (BMI)/Nicole Boggs (SESAC)


All the movers and shakers, get there faster
And they all think they know what they’re chasing after
Plastic smiles, business cards
Burn a bridge, break a heart

Chorus:
Hey coattail rider
Tripping me up
Tripping me up
Hey dream hitchhiker
Pushing your luck
Pushing you luck
I ain’t your ride down easy street
I don’t owe you a damn thing

All the suits and their ties, gotta turn a profit
They’re all diggin for fool’s gold to line their pockets
Wheel and deal, silver tongue
Sell a soul, one and done
