(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
