(O'Keefe/Braun)
|
I had a '56 T-Bird, then I was king of the highway.
|
Trying to make it look fast and easy and dreaming of doing it my way.
|
Let's put the top down, baby, feel the wind in our hair.
|
We were too young to know better and to cool to care,
|
all I wanted was you by my side, baby, you're only along for the ride, only along for the ride.
|
|
Rock and roll on the radio, let's turn it up and get down.
|
Convertible dreams running wild in the streets in the all time American town.
|
When you played the thrill queen, baby, I heard the jazz of joy,
|
you were every girl in the world but I wasn't every boy.
|
All I wanted was you by side, baby, you're only along for the ride.
|
All I wanted was you by my side, baby, you're only along for the ride, only along for the ride.
|
|
Memory pink and charcoal gray are the colors I painted this song.
|
You were 19 and perfect, baby, but no one stays perfect too long.
|
All I wanted was you by my side, baby, you're only along for the ride, only along for the ride.
