We Ride (Acoustic)

(album: Poets & Old Souls - 2023)

Well, I've been known to write a few songs
Loving and leaving and getting too stoned
Bottle and a pistol by my side
Devil's always along for the ride

We ride down to the creek by the water
I've been baptized by the preacher's daughter
Lucky for me, no, he never caught us, oh
Oh, we ride to the bar by the levee
'85 jacked-up, square-body Chevy
Blanket in the back when it gets hot and heavy, oh

Oh, we ride
Pedal to the floorboard, she begging for more
Sipping on apple-pie moonshine
And I'll be gone by the morning light

'Cause I've been known to write a few songs
Loving and leaving and getting too stoned
Bottle and a pistol by my side
Devil's always along for the ride

We ride across state lines
Rubbing two nickels just trying to make a dime
Hard to make a living while the gas is so high
And, oh, we ride
Like a Harley on a two-lane, Palomino crossplane
Drop her down to four-wheel drive on a Friday night
Cracking open a cold Bud Light
Oh, we ride
Pushing through the hard love, looking for my give-a-fuck
Needle pegging ninety-five, but that's alright
'Cause I'm running every red light

'Cause I've been known to write a few songs
Loving and leaving and getting too stoned
Bottle and a pistol by my side
Devil's always along for the ride

And, oh, we ride
Oh, we ride

'Cause I've been known to write a few songs
Loving and leaving and getting too stoned
Bottle and a pistol by my side
The devil's always along for the ride
Yeah, I've been known to write a few songs
Loving and leaving and getting too stoned
Bottle and a pistol by my side
Devil's always along for the ride
