[Verse 1]
I've been out on that open road
You can be my full-time daddy, hot or cold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full-time baby, hot or cold
Don't break me down
I've been traveling too long
I've been trying too hard with one pretty song
[Chorus]
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been trying hard not to get into trouble
But I've got, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, I just ride
[Verse 2]
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 dogs do it, ride 'til dawn
Don't leave me now, don't say goodbye
Don't turn around, leave me high and dry
[Chorus]
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been trying hard not to get into trouble
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, I just ride
I just ride, I just ride
[Outro]
I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of riding 'til I see stars in my eyes
It’s all I can do to keep myself sane, baby
I just ride, I just ride
