  • I've been out on that open road
    You can be my full time, daddy, white and gold
    Singing blues has been getting old
    You can be my full time, baby
    Hot or cold

    Don't break me down (don't break me down)
    I've been travelin' too long (I've been travelin' too long)
    I've been trying too hard (I've been trying too hard)
    With one pretty song (with one pretty song)

    I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
    I am alone at midnight
    Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
    I've got a war in my mind
    So, I just ride
    Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

    Dying young and playing hard
    That's the way my father made his life an art
    Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
    That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark

    Don't leave me now (don't leave me now)
    Don't say good bye (don't say good bye)
    Don't turn around (don't turn around)
    Leave me high and dry (leave me high and dry)

    I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
    I am alone at midnight
    Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
    I've got a war in my mind
    I just ride
    Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

    I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
    I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
    All I've got to keep myself sane, baby
    So I just ride, I just ride

    I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
    I am alone at midnight
    Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
    I've got a war in my mind
    I just ride
    Just ride, I just ride, I just ride Writer/s: Elizabeth Grant, Justin Parker
