I've been out on that open road
Am
You can be my full time, daddy
F         C
White and gold
C                      F      C
Singing blues has been getting old
Am
You can be my full time, baby
F      C
Hot or cold

               F
Don't break me down
                        Am
I've been travelin' too long
                     F
I've been trying too hard
                G
With one pretty song

F          Am           G      F/Am
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
F    Em           F
I am alone in the night
F           Am          G        F/Am
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
F          Em        F
I've got a war in my mind
               F Am G F/Am  F Em F   (repeat multiple times)
So, I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

C                   F       C
Dying young and I'm playing hard
Am                                F       C
That's the way my father made his life an art
C                    F         C
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
Am                                   F         C
That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark.

               F
Don't leave me now
               Am
Don't say good bye
           F
Don't turn around
                  G
Leave me high and dry

F          Am           G      F/Am
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
F    Em           F
I am alone in the night

I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy

I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes
F      Am         G            F
I look up to keep myself sane, baby
F         Em    F      Em
So I just ride, I just ride
