Lyrics
The Ride Back Home
Bottom of the ninth
Dodgers behind by a run
Fly ball down the line
This time it could be the one
Every fan stands on their feet
Daddy puts me up on the seat
So I can see and they won
Didn't know it then, but I sure know it now
The miles we spent together, that's what it was about
Talkin' over the day we had, and all the things we did
(Talkin' 'bout the night I had, and all the things I did)
Nothin' but a dad, his car, the road, and his kid
I got all the love and lessons that a father could have shown
And I got them all, on the ride, on the ride back home
It's two a.m.
Phone in hand at the county jail
I know you're mad
But, Dad, I need your help
Heard him cuss, the phone slam down
But he still came to bail me out
There was no doubt, I'd catch hell
Didn't know it then, but I sure know it now
The miles we spent together, that's what it was about
(Repeat Chorus)
From the hospital with my new born baby son
He can't understand, but I can't shut up
(Repeat Chorus)
