Lyrics

Rough Ride

I woke up this morning in the same town.
Turned on the radio, to listen to the same sound.
The girl from last night was the same beauty queen.
There's not a beer-goggle in this world that could put me into her dreams ....

How many nights, should I drive around
It seems that I've been playing in all the wrong towns.
Gotta hold on, this could be another rough ride.

Got to move myself and get out of here.
Where the psycho's are far from few and all the vibes are real clear.
Cause there's that 'X', you know, the one that won't go away.
She still thinks that down the road will come our wedding day...well it's too late ....

How many lines, did it take to get to you?
Than I come to find, that's something you never do.
Gotta hold on, this could be another rough ride.

I've wasted all day thinking of an alibi.
So when she calls to put me on the bench, I'll be sitting on the perfect lie.
Sorry, I didn't mean to misinterpret you.
I suppose your hand is over here to let it have a different view ... could that be true?

How many how many bumps, how many more burns?
Too many twists, far too many turns.
Gotta hold on, this could be another rough ride.
