Let It Ride

You weren't 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
 I'd come around
 But you'll be captive in this town
 And I'll 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 I've got so much more in this life
 And we could never quite get it
 Right, and baby I'm 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 I'm sure
 I guess this boy is not for loving after all, all, after all
 I put myself in between
 Treason that I hadn't seen naivety would conquer me
 As I thought all the buzz was fake
 But you'd prove me wrong
 But right from the start, well I've 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 don't wanna hear you out
 Let it die, let it die, let it
 Die, cause baby I've got
 So much more in this life
 And we could never quite get it
 Right, and baby I'm 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 I'm sure
 I guess this girl is not for loving after all, all, after all, all
 But you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
 Cause despite your indiscretions I'm a ten times better man
 And you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
 Cause you saved me from the next one and her not-so-secret hand
 Yeah you know that you're 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 I'm sure
 Yeah you know that you're my hero, because I know now
 I know some girls are not for loving after all
