[Chorus]
I wanna thank you
For showin' me the way inside
I wanna thank you
For givin' back the time to set me free
I know it's true
I really have enjoyed the ride
I wanna thank you
You ought to thank me

[Verse 1]
In a little square of time
I made love with Caroline
And she crept into my mind
And she eased the pain away
But in the mornin' came the sun
And I knew I'd better run
'Cause I'd rather stay just one
Than two or three

[Chorus]
I wanna thank you
For showin' me the way inside
I wanna thank you
For givin' back the time to set mе free
I know it's true
I really have еnjoyed the ride
I wanna thank you
You ought to thank me
[Verse 2]
In a New York City place
East and 70 and 8th
I remember Teri's face
And how bright her candle shown
We laughed at shadows on the walls
And noisy people in the hall
An when the conversation crawled
I walked away

[Chorus]
I wanna thank you
For showin' me the way inside
I wanna thank you
For givin' back the time to set me free
I know it's true
I really have enjoyed the ride
I wanna thank you
You ought to thank me

[Chorus]
I wanna thank you
For showin' me the way inside
I wanna thank you
For givin' back the time to set me free
I know it's true
I really have enjoyed the ride
I wanna thank you
You ought to thank me
