I Choose the Ride lyrics

I Choose the Ride


If you've got somewhere to go back to
Maybe it's hard
Maybe it's bleak
Words were said
Maybe your daddy smacked you
If you got somewhere
Go back and patch the leak

If you got people thinking of you
Maybe they're wrong
Maybe you're right
Even if you think that they don't love you
At least it's somewhere to fall asleep at night

'Cause this place ain't even a place
This place ain't no kinda home
It's just a way to get from nowhere to nowhere else
If you've got somewhere to go back to
You should go

If you'd asked a week ago
I would have said yes
Somewhere to go back to
A home that was blessed with light
The future looked bright

How fast it all can change
The blink of an eye
Your future can disappear
And people can die

Hey, who we talkin' 'bout son?

My folks. Car crash. Police said it was instant

I don't have somewhere to go back to
My folks, they're gone
The house
The one that I grew up in
Belongs to the bank now
So I moved on

This place
This place
This place
This place

This place is always in motion
This place is so alive
If it's a choice between nothing and nowhere
I choose the nowhere on wheels
I choose the ride

(This place)
This place is always in motion
(This place)
This place is so alive
(This place)

If it's a choice between this place and anywhere
I choose the nowhere on wheels
I choose the rattle of steel
I choose the circus
I choose The ride
