Lyrics

[Intro]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]

I been out on that open road

But you can be my full-time daddy, white and gold

Singing blues has been gettin' old

But you can be my full-time baby, hot or cold

[PreChorus]

Don't break me down (Don't break me down)

I been traveling too long (I been traveling too long)

I been tryin' too hard (I been tryin' too hard)

With one pretty song (With one pretty song)

[Chorus]

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast

I am alone at midnight

Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

[Chorus]

So, I just ride, just ride

I just ride, I just ride

[Verse 2]

Dying young and playing hard

That's the way my father made his life and art

Drink all day and we talk till dark

That's the way the road dogs do it, light till dark

[PreChorus]

Don't leave me now (Don't leave me now)

Don't say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)

Don't turn around (Don't turn around)

Leave me high and dry (Leave me high and dry)

[Chorus]

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast

I am alone at midnight

Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

[Chorus]

I just ride, just ride

I just ride, I just ride

[Bridge]

I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy

I'm tired of driving till I see stars in my eyes

It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby

So I just ride, I just ride

[Chorus]

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast

I am alone at midnight

Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

[Chorus]

I just ride, just ride

I just ride, I just ride
