[Verse 1] I been out on that open road But you can be my full-time daddy, white and gold Singing blues has been gettin’ old But you can be my full-time baby, hot or cold
[Pre-Chorus 1] Don’t break me down (Don’t break me down) I been traveling too long (I been traveling too long) I been tryin’ too hard (I been tryin’ too hard) With one pretty song (With one pretty song)
[Chorus] I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast I am alone at midnight Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I I’ve got a war in my mind
[Post-Chorus] So, I just ride, just ride I just ride, I just ride
[Verse 2] Dying young and playing hard That’s the way my father made his life and art Drink all day and we talk ’til dark That’s the way the road dogs do it, light ’til dark
[Pre-Chorus 2] Don’t leave me now (Don’t leave me now) Don’t say goodbye (Don’t say goodbye) Don’t turn around (Don’t turn around) Leave me high and dry (Leave me high and dry)
[Chorus] I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast I am alone at midnight Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I I’ve got a war in my mind
[Post-Chorus] I just ride, just ride I just ride, I just ride
[Bridge] I’m tired of feeling like I’m fucking crazy I’m tired of driving ’til I see stars in my eyes It’s all I’ve got to keep myself sane, baby So I just ride, I just ride
[Chorus] I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast I am alone at midnight Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I I’ve got a war in my mind
[Post-Chorus] I just ride, just ride I just ride, I just ride
