Let It Ride

You werent the girl I had planned
To share my love with but you came in strongly with
Your ships and planes
You took me down

And I went in quietly
You had me strapped,
but you would promise honesty
And like clock-ridden hands
Id come around

But youll be captive in this town
And Ill be back out on the road
Well if you wanna hear us out
Then let it ride, let it ride, let it
Ride, but baby Ive got so much more in this life
And we could never quite get it
Right, and baby Im not looking out from inside
And I could never quite give you
What you need, what you want
You can take what you get
But it just wont amount to much Im sure
I guess this boy is not for loving after all, all, after all

I put myself in between
Treason that I hadnt seen naivety would conquer me
As I thought all the buzz was fake

But youd prove me wrong
But right from the start,
Well Ive been proven so much smarter
And yeah, some nights you were worth the mistake

Now you can call me from the town
And I can tell you about the road
No I dont wanna hear you out
Let it die, let it die, let it
Die, cause baby Ive got
So much more in this life
And we could never quite get it
Right, and baby Im not
Looking out from inside
And I will never ever give you
What you need, what you want
You can take what you get
But it just wont amount to much Im sure
I guess this girl is not for loving afterall, all, after all, all

But you know that youre my hero, yeah yeah
Cause despite your indiscretions Im a ten times better man
And you know that youre my hero, yeah yeah
Cause you saved me from the next one and her not-so-secret hand
Yeah you know that youre my hero, yeah yeah
Cause somehow you had me trying to break my back and give you
What you need, what you want
You can take what you get but it just wont amount to much I know
What you need, what you want
You can take what you get but it just wont amount to much I know
What you need, what you want
You can take what you get but it just wont amount to much Im sure

Yeah you know that youre my hero, because I know now
I know some girls are not for loving after all
