Along for the Ride

Peter Pan could never understand
 Why Wendy Darling wanted more than Neverland
 A lost boy always makes it on his own
 So he never grew up and he ended up alone
 But I would rather have you sittin' here next to me
 Telling bedtime stories and singing harmony
 Because that river is deep and that river is wide
 And I'm a gonna need you child to be my guide
 And if we're gonna make it – to the other side
 It's gonna take more than just coming along for ride
 ♪
 When Odysseus sailed to sea
 He left behind Penelope
 She waited years, patiently
 For him to come back from his Odyssey
 But I would rather have you sittin' here next to me
 Lookin' at the map and tellin' us where we oughta' be
 ♪
 Tom Sawyer loved Becky Thatcher
 And he spent his days tryin' catch her
 But when Huck Finn came on the scene
 Tom left Becky waiting up stream
 But I would rather have you sittin' here next to me
 Makin' hollyhock dolls under a cherry tree
