I've been out on that open road You can be my full time baby, white or gold Singing blues has been gettin' old But you can be my full time baby, hot or cold Don't break me down I've been traveling too long I've been tryin' so hard With one pretty song I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast I'm 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 Just ride I just ride Just ride Dying old and I'm playing hard That's the way my father made his life an art Drink all day and talk 'til dark That's the way the road dogs do it - light 'til dark Don't leave me now Don't say goodbye Don't turn around Leave me high and dry I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast I'm 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 Just ride I just ride Just ride I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast I'm 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 Just ride I just ride Just ride
