Píseň: Along For The Ride (´56 T-Bird)

Interpret:
John Denver
Album:
One World
I had a '56 T-Bird 
 Then I was king of the highway 
 Trying to make it look fast and easy 
 And dreamin' of doin' it my way 
 Let's put the top down baby 
 Feel the wind in our hair 


 We were too young to know better 
 And too cool to care 


 All I wanted was you by my side 
 Baby you're only along for the ride 
 Only along for the ride 


 Rock and roll on the radio 
 Let's turn it up and get down 


 Convertible dreams running wild in the streets 
 In the all time American town 
 When you played the thrill queen, baby 
 I heard the jazz of joy 
 You were every girl in the world 
 But I wasn't every boy 


 All I wanted was you by my side 
 Baby, you're only along for the ride 
 All I wanted was you by my side 
 Baby, you're only along for the ride 
 Only along for the ride 


 Memory pink and charcoal grey 
 Are the clours I painted this song 
 You were 19 and perfect, baby 
 But no one stays perfect too long 


 All I wanted was you by my side 
 Baby you're only along for the ride 
 Only along for the ride
