(Verse 1) I’m running myself crazy, trying to pay these bills I’m the thinest I’ve ever been, cause I can’t afford some meals But I’m doing what I love, so I try not to complain When there’s people losing jobs they never liked anyway…every day….every day But I still need a break, yeah every now and then Just to clear my head, and talk to a good ol friend So I call you up on a Saturday to see if you’re around I got so much that's on my mind and I wanna skip this town Lets ride…Do you wanna take a ride? (Chorus) I wanna stay up all night, drinking beer with my best friend I wanna see both of my granddaddy’s They’re the definition of men I wanna drive fast on those back roads Like I did when I was young Yeah break the law then go to church…Lord forgive me for what I’ve done My people here are real. They don’t leave when times get bad They stick around, they lend a hand, and you’ll see it for yourself Lets ride, yeah lets ride Do you wanna take a ride? (Verse 2) Well I’m headed down to my southern town In my heart I call it home My family is there, and they understand what I’m out here trying to do But I can’t get there fast enough to see my mother smile And hug the neck of my father, I ain’t seen him in a while Let’s ride. Yeah let’s ride Do you wanna take a ride? (Chorus) I wanna stay up all night, drinking beer with my best friend I wanna see both of my granddaddy’s They’re the definition of men I wanna drive fast on those back roads Like I did when I was young Yeah break the law then go to church…Lord forgive me for what I’ve done My people here are real. They don’t leave when times get bad They stick around, they lend a hand, and you’ll see it for yourself Lets ride, yeah lets ride Do you wanna take a ride? Take a ride Do you wanna take a ride? (Outro) Well I’m headed down to my southern town In my heart I call it home My family is there, and they understand what I’m out here trying to do But I can’t get there fast enough to see my mother smile And hug the neck of my father, I ain’t seen him in a while Let’s ride. let’s ride I’m headed home tonight
