Take Me For A Ride

(album: The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte - 2023)

Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride
Yes, I am a fugitive, but still I'm on your side, side
But they'll never ever take me, take this boy alive

Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
Why, I wonder, did you stop and offer me a ride?
You have got one heavy foot, we're going ninety-five, five
You seem like a girl in need of thrills to stay alive

With your Chevy Powerglide
You don't have to shift to keep the lawmen far behind
With your Chevy Powerglide
We don't have to stop, no time

So, take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
Let's avoid all areas that seem too gentrified
When you're hungry, we can stop, I just eat food that's fried, fried
My name's Johnny, what's your name? You seem so dignified

With your Chevy Powerglide
We don't have to stop and hide

So take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride

Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura

Roadblock dead ahead, we've got to crash it, drive, girl, drive
They will never, never take this boy alive, alive
Now you're an accomplice, and I'm sorry, but that's life, girl
Floor it, floor it, floor it, we've now hit a hundred five

With your Chevy Powerglide
You don't have to shift to keep the lawmen far behind
With your Chevy Powerglide
We don't have to stop, no time

So they repeat this ritual each Friday night at nine
He is an accountant and she teaches kids design
Once a week, they live a moment that makes them alive
Fighting off the tedium of both their daily lives

Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura
Faster, faster Laura
Let's go, let's go Laura

Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride
I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride
Yes, I am a fugitive, but still I'm on your side, ride
But they'll never ever take me, take this boy alive
