Enjoy the Ride (work in progress)

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
