Along For The Ride

Along For the Ride
(Bill Braun-Danny O'Keefe)

I had a fifty-six T-Bird, Man, I was King of the Highway
Tryin' to make it look fast and easy and dreamin' of doin' it my way
Let's put the top down, Baby, feel the wind in our hair
We were too young to know better, and too cool to care

All I wanted was you by my side
Baby, you were 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 runnin' wild in the streets in the All-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 my side
Baby, you were only along for the ride
Only along for the ride

Memory pink and charcoal gray are the colors I painted this song
You were nineteen and perfect, Baby, but no one stays perfect too long

All I wanted was you by my side
Baby, you were only along for the ride
Only along for the ride
We both went along for the ride
