Lyrics
THE RIDE
Words and music by Jeff Jolly
Copyright 1995
Take a long ride away
Take a long ride away from home
Take a long ride
From everything you own
Take some time from your friends
Take some time from your family
Take some time from your neighborhood
You’ll find when it’s time to leave
There’s always someone begging you - please don’t go
But deep down in their hearts
They want to come along
You got to find things for yourself
You can’t always listen to someone else
There’s choices you must make on your own
I’ve taken chances
I’ve made mistakes
But the sands of time in my shoes
Are starting make my feet ache
So roll on, roll on - Roll on, roll on
Take a look outside
Yeah, roll on, roll on
Does anybody here want to come along
For the ride
Does anyone here want to come along for the ride
