GOIN' FOR A RIDE

Mama, wave bye bye.
I'm goin' for a long, long drive,
and I won't be back tonight...
"Wait!"
I'm leavin' all my friends behind,
and 'gonna' start a brand new life.
I wanna' be real hard to find...
You can say wait..,
but I need you to be staying strong for us right now,
as I leave this suffocating, one-horse, little town.
I'm goin' for a ride... I'm goin' for a ride...
I can hear that something better's calling out my name,
and the ties here must be severed. I just need a change.
I'm goin' for a ride... I'm goin' for a ride..,
because Mama, this scene's old,
and it no longer feels like home.
It is time to hit the road,
and I can't wait..,
to be somewhere, someone, something. I don't really care,
as long as it's happening, and I'm already there.
I'm goin' for a ride... I'm goin' for a ride... I'm goin' for a ride.
***
Life is different. How can I return to where I've been?
I'm like the distant clouds for miles changing in the wind.
I'm goin' for a ride... I'm goin' for a ride... I'm goin' for a ride.., goin' for a ride.
