I've been out on that open road

You can be my full time, daddy

White and gold

Singing the blues has been getting old

You can be my full time, baby

Hot or cold

Do not break me down

I've been travelin 'too long

I've been trying too hard

With one pretty song

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

I am alone in the night

Been tryin 'hard not to get into trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

So, I just ride

Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

Dying young and I'm playing hard

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

Drink all day and we talk 'til dark

That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark.

Do not leave me now

Do not say good bye

Do not turn around

Leave me high and dry

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

I am alone in the night

Been tryin 'hard not to get in trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

I just ride

Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

I'm tired of feeling like I'm f-ck-n crazy

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

I look up to hear myself saying,

Baby, I strive too much, I just ride

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

I am alone in the night

Been tryin 'hard not to get in trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

I just ride

Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
