Story Behind The Song
From the start, this is a fun,innocent solid rocker w/driving, syncopated beat and classic guitar harmonies a la Allman Bro's. It's about two lovers having lots of fun, all done under the guise of a high speed racer at the tracks.

Lyrics
Fueled up, strapped in, and ready to go
Psyched out, gettin' down, I really must know
Don't you want to come and
take a ride with me? I said
Don't you want to come and
take a ride with me?
Callin out to you as I get ready to roll
Blastin down the line, streakin out of control
Don't you want to come and
take a ride with me? I said
Don't you want to come and
take a ride with me?
Pushin through to the other side
Piercing the wall, careful not to collide
So glad you're hear right next to me
Soon, real soon, we're gonna be free
We're movin real fast, away from things, that never last!
It's scary I know, where in way over out heads,
Soon we'll be there without
leavin our bed...c'mon!
Don't you want to come and
take a ride with me? I said
Don't you want to come and
take a ride with me?
