We were seventeen And tearing up that highway between truth and Tennessee Doing the best we could to slip the ties that tried their best to hold us down Ninety miles an hour ain’t too fast when all you wanna do Is find yourself some rhythm in the blues And that black-eyed boy beside me was the only one who ever made me feel Like I could make my dreams come true Enjoy the ride Enjoy the ride We’re all gonna die someday but not tonight Enjoy the ride Enjoy the ride Didn’t take too long Till we pulled that beat-up Pontiac into a ragged field And threw a sleeping bag up on the roof and sang a song about an angel too close to the ground Wishing on the stars that spelled our names and lit the way for us In a pale and fiery blaze across the sky And that black-eyed boy beside me was the only one who ever made me feel Like I might get my chance to fly Enjoy the ride Enjoy the ride We’re all gonna die someday but not tonight Enjoy the ride Enjoy the ride Been a long time gone And my feet are bruised and torn from walking places where I’ve never walked before And Lord I think I'd sell my soul if I thought that I could buy some peace of mind Sometimes when it gets too much I find a road where I can drive too fast And see if I can catch a memory And in the corner of my eye I swear I see that black eyed boy who set me free Enjoy the ride Enjoy the ride We’re all gonna die someday but not tonight Enjoy the ride Enjoy the ride © 2021 Bluebird Flying Music
