I remember riding in my car
Thinking what was my life
Would I work and stay alone
Or would I find my wife

Could it ever happen?
Did I know what I wanted then?
Riding down the road thinking
Wondering, talking to me about when.

Explaining to me
Of what I should do
I talk it out to me
Then I find you

You knocked me down
Took me for a ride
I ran for a while
Then I started to hide

Scared, I stared
In my eyes for truth
Remember riding?
It’s what you do in your youth.

I think I finished riding
But I still try to drive
Now that I am older
To hide is what I strive.

I want my youth
But I don’t want the ride
I’ll just continue to drive
Continue to hide
