1. I've been out on that open road
   Ami                             F         C
   You can be my full time, daddy, white and gold
   C                      F       C  Emi
   Singing blues has been getting old
   Ami                            F      C
   You can be my full time, baby, hot or cold
   
                    F                           Ami
   Don't break me down, I've been traveling too long
                          F                   G
   I've been trying too hard, with one pretty song

R: I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
        Emi         F
   I am alone at midnight
   F           Ami         G           Dmi
   Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
   F          Emi       F
   I've got a war in my mind, so
      
             F Ami G Dmi    Dmi Emi F
   So I just ride, just ride
          F Ami G Dmi    Dmi Emi F
   I just ride, just ride

2. Dying young and I'm playing hard
   That's the way my father made his life and art
   Drink all day and we talk 'till dark
   That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark.
   
   Don't leave me now, don't say good bye
   Don't turn around, leave me high and dry

R: I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast...

   So I just ride, just ride
   I just ride, just ride

   F            Ami              G       Dmi
*: I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
                Emi            F
   I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
          Ami               G          Dmi                       F
   It's all I've got keep myself sane, "Baby, too much I strive, I just 
   ride."

R: I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast...

   I just ride, just ride
   I just ride, just ride
