Lyrics
WILD RIDE
©2006 Telemark Blue Sky Music
Written by Robby Kjonaas
I?d wake up in the mornin?
And find my baseball glove
Take my bat and ball down to the park
In the afternoon I?d go fishin?
On the far side of the lake
Probably stay until it was almost dark
Then I?d start a fire and cook out in the open
Watch the sun as it slid down over the hills
And I didn?t have a care, as I traveled on with my life
Lord life never was as good as ?65
I thought it couldn?t get any better than ?65
In ?71 I was out for fun
Drove my pickup truck out west
Played my songs for a beer and a cigarette
Well the years passed by so quickly
I grew out of control
Well the wander lust proved too hard on my soul
And the thing about those times I was so lonely
And I realize I fell into bad company
And I thank the Lord I found a way to get down on my knees and pray
And find a path to forgiveness in you
And find a path to forgiveness, Father, in you
FIDDLE BREAK
And in ?84 I wound up at the alter
And in ?85 I held my baby son (in my arms)
And I thank the Lord each day for the family He?s brought my way
They?ve given me the best years of my life
Oh-oh, these truly are the best years of my life
And I thank the Lord every mornin? when I wake up
It?s a miracle I am even alive
And I never have a care, I just travel on with my life
Cos I know every day God will provide
Father, thank you once again, ?It?s been a wild ride!?
