[00:00.59]Lyricist:Michael Trent/Cary Ann Hearst
[00:01.18]This ride
[00:05.13]What a ride
[00:08.68]What a ride
[00:12.11]What a ride
[00:20.83]Well
[00:21.00]It hurts and it scars and it aches and it twists
[00:24.50]It starves and it laughs and it balls up it's fists
[00:28.02]It's crooked and it hollows and it soothes and it breaks
[00:31.41]And it grows and it ponders and it toils and it takes
[00:35.09]It stretches and it breathes and it is lonely and long
[00:48.91]This ride
[00:52.24]What a ride
[00:55.54]Oh my
[00:59.22]What a ride
[01:08.10]Well it calls and it follows and
[01:09.87]It breaks down your door
[01:12.00]It bleeds you dry and it asks you for more
[01:15.41]Shows up at your work and it makes you insane
[01:18.78]And it loses your keys and leaves you crying in the rain
[01:22.48]It's costly and violent and
[01:24.39]It's a sorrowful song
[01:35.59]But I am thankful by and by my love
[01:39.28]And if I'm talking too much just give me a shove
[01:42.79]If I'm walking too fast maybe pick it on up
[01:46.34]It's just like old Yeller and lonesome Dove
[01:49.76]When you hate how it ends
[01:51.25]But you can't get enough
[01:58.50]This ride
[02:05.43]It lifts and it gives and it singles you out
[02:09.04]It shames and it blames and forgives and it doubts
[02:12.69]It inspires and it opens our eyes and it heals
[02:16.09]And it coughs and it slips and it falls and it steals
[02:19.72]Your memory your dignity your husbands and your mothers
