Lyrics
Just for the Ride
Worn boots
and a cowboy grin
just days beyond eighteen
oh to be young again
green time before the noise and the grey
before the sun moved out
and blew the stars away
warm breath
on the inside of my neck
pressing up against
the hours that I wept
CHORUS:
So I turn and drive
Just for the ride
I turn and drive
Just for the ride
Those old boots
they been tossed aside
Just piles of you
that you left behind
I travel alone in this car of mine
Looking for something
That I just cant find
drive by your laneway
with its darkened porch light
the lonely of the quiet
breaks the silence of the night
CHORUS
young love
well it just don't keep
faith can save you
but it wont come cheap
cold feet and paper wings
beauty smiles
on the littlest things
roll down the window
my face in the air
its a long long road
but it'll get me there
