  • Well, I've been known to write a few songs
    Lovin' and leavin' and gettin' too stoned
    Bottle and a pistol by my side
    The devil's always along for the ride

    We ride down
    To the creek by the water
    I've been baptized by the preacher's daughter
    Lucky for me now he never caught us though

    Oh, we ride
    To the bar by the levee
    '85 jacked up square body Chevy
    Blanket in the back for when it gets hot and heavy, oh

    Oh, we ride
    Pedal to the floorboard, she beggin' for more
    Sippin' on apple pie moonshine
    And I'll be gone by the morning light

    Yeah, 'cause I've been known to write a few songs
    Lovin' and leavin' and gettin' too stoned
    Bottle and a pistol by my side
    The devil's always along for the ride

    We ride
    Across state lines
    Rubbin' two nickels just tryin' to make a dime
    Hard to make a livin' while the gas is so high

    Oh, we ride
    Like a Harley on a two-lane, Palomino crossplane
    Drop it down to four-wheel drive on a Friday night
    Crackin' open a cold Bud Light

    Oh, we ride
    Pushin' through the hard love
    Lookin' for my give-a-fuck, needle peggin 95
    But that's alright
    'Cause I'm runnin' every red light

    Yeah, 'cause I've been known to write a few songs
    Lovin' and leavin' and gettin' too stoned
    Bottle and a pistol by my side
    The devil's always along for the ride

    Oh, we ride
    Oh, we ride

    Yeah, 'cause I've been known to write a few songs
    Lovin' and leavin' and gettin' too stoned
    Bottle and a pistol by my side
    The devil's always along for the ride

    Yeah, I've been known to write a few songs
    Lovin' and leavin' and gettin' too stoned
    Bottle and a pistol by my side
    The devil's always along for the ride

    Oh, along for that ride
    The devil's always along for that ride Writer/s: Bryan Martin, Vernon Brown

  • Mike from FloridaYou could have filled the many times you sang the chorus with other content/stories you had in life experiences. The song is great with beat/melody, but needs more context. We Ride is excellent Segway to where the story happened. Love the song, it could've been #1 everywhere if it didn't fall short.
  • George Sweet from Winchester JyCan someone please tell me what that red convertible is. It’s driving me crazy.
