F       Am       G     Dm      Dm    Em    F
F       Am       G     Dm      Dm    Em    F


[Verse 1]

C                       F    C
  I've been out on that open road
Am                             F         C
You can be my full-time daddy, white and gold
C                        F       C
  Singing blues has been getting old
Am                             F      C
You can be my full- time baby, hot or cold


[Pre-Chorus]

                F
Don't break me down
                       Am
I've been traveling too long
                      F
I've been trying too hard
                 G
With one pretty song


[Chorus]

F            Am           G      Dm
  I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
Dm      Em         F
  I am alone at midnight
F             Am          G            Dm
  Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
Dm           Em        F
  I've got a war in my mind
            F        Am       G         Dm
So, I just ride
         Dm      Em      F
I just ride
            F        Am       G         Dm
So, I just ride
         Dm      Em      F
I just ride


[Verse 2]

C                     F       C
  Dying young and I'm playing hard
Am                                 F       C
That's the way my father made his life an art
C                      F         C
  Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
Am                                   F        C
That's the way the road dogs do it, light 'til dark


[Pre-Chorus]

               F
Don't leave me now
              Am
Don't say goodbye
            F
Don't turn around
                  G
Leave me high and dry


[Chorus]

F            Am           G      Dm
  I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
Dm       Em        F
  I am alone at midnight
F             Am          G            Dm
  Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
Dm           Em        F
  I've got a war in my mind
            F        Am       G         Dm
So, I just ride
         Dm      Em      F
I just ride
            F        Am       G         Dm
So, I just ride
         Dm      Em      F
I just ride


[Bridge]

F              Am               G       Dm
  I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
Dm             Em             F
  I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
F          Am                 G          Dm
  It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby
Dm          Em    F
  So I just ride, I just ride


[Chorus]

F             Am            G      Dm
  I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
Dm      Em         F
  I am alone at midnight
F             Am          G            Dm
  Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
Dm           Em         F
  I've got a war in my mind
            F        Am       G         Dm
So, I just ride
         Dm      Em      F
I just ride
            F        Am       G         Dm
So, I just ride
         Dm      Em      F
I just ride
