Along for the Ride ('56 T-Bird)

I had a '56 T-Bird

Man, I was king of the highway

Tried to make it look fast and easy

Dreaming of doing it my way

Let's put the top down, baby

Feel the wind in our hair

We were too young to know better

And too cool to care

All I wanted was you by my side

Baby, you're only along for the ride

Only along for the ride

Rock 'n' roll on the radio

Let's turn it up and get down

Convertible dreams running wild in the streets

In the all-time American town

When you played the Thrill Queen, baby

I heard the jazz and joy

You were every girl in the world

But I wasn't every boy

All I wanted was you by my side

Baby, you're only along for the ride

All I wanted was you by my side

Baby, you're only along for the ride

Only along for the ride

Velvet pink and charcoal gray

Are the colors I painted this song

You were nineteen and perfect, baby

But no one stays perfect too long

All I wanted was you by my side

Baby, you're only along for the ride

All I wanted was you by my side

Baby, you're only along for the ride

All I wanted was you by my side

Baby, you're only along for the ride

All I wanted was you by my side

Baby, you're only along for the ride
