lyrics

Ride, Ride, Ride
Music and Lyrics by Michael Alan Silverstone
7/12/11
©2011 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing/ASCAP

C
I was in Nachedoches, Texas
F
it was 99 degrees in the shade
C
Felt like I was English
G
At an Independence Day parade
C
So I got into the car
F
Cranked up the music and the air all the way
G C
And started to ride, Ride, ride, ride, ride

C
I had a sneaky little feeling
F
Things between us weren’t about to change
C
‘cause whatever I suggested we might do
G
would always strike you strange
C
so I decided it’d be better
F
if we ‘d get ourselves both out of range
G C
to ride, Ride, ride, ride, ride
CHORUS
F
Riding through the night
C
Where all imagination’s free to go
F
Baby, maybe going nowhere
G
But who for sure would really know?
C
(Gonna run a--) way and join the circus
F
always meant to do that anyhow
C
its been a constant possibility I never could
G
deny or allow
C
What’s all been so great about stability,
F
anyhow?
G C
Baby, time to ride, Ride, ride, ride, ride

[instrumental verse]
Repeat CHORUS
(But they did then who would have the heart to go and tell us so?)
C
Riding on the Interstate watching night turn into day
C
Riding past the places you might visit but
G
never stay
C
They say patience is a virtue but sometime’s
F
that cost’s too hard to pay
G C
I’d rather ride Ride, ride, ride, ride
C
I feel alive just driving on now
F
And singing with the radio
C
crossed the Mississipi River ‘bout an
G
hour and a half ago
C
maybe don’t know where we’re going
F
but there’s lots more places we could go
G C
so let’s ride Ride, ride, ride, ride
G F G (end)
let’s ride, Ride, ride, ride, ride
