Lyrics
The Ride Home
V1
Sitting round the kitchen table, listening to the fridge it?s hummin
Song I?m hearing in my head starts in rhythm with the rain that?s fallin
Lookin out that old screen door I can hear the road seems to me it?s calling
CH
Ridin Home, don?t know what I?m gonna find
When I get there will it all be the same?
V2
Two more miles says the exit sign, then it?s
Out into the countryside where I used to play
Park the car, turn off the key
And I sit there in the silence of my memories
Till I hear that sweet voice callin -
How yhave you been?
Then I smile and I head on in
CH
Ridin Home, don?t know what I?m gonna find
When I get there will it all be the same?
But some things never change
V3
Like the love of my mother
A hug from my father
Or the tenderness I feel for my little sister and my brother
Like the bond that only blood can bring
Some things never change
CH
Ridin Home, Don?t know what I?m gonna find
When I get there will it all be the same?
Ridin Home, I can?t wait to see you
TAG
I can?t wait to see you, I can?t wait to see you
I can?t wait to see you, again
Mmmmm ? to see you
