Under pastel skies
Streams of golden light shine on through
Driving through the hillside
Trying to find some peace of mind
Just gotta leave it all in the dust behind

'Cause it's a cruel world
Trying to see the beauty in it
All these people trying to keep the planet from spinning
Oh, it's simple you're just hanging on too tight
Gotta let it all go and just
Enjoy the ride
Oh, enjoy the ride

'Cause I've been down just a little too long
Been pushed around up against a wall
It's like the winds of change are playing games with my broken heart
I've forgotten what it's like to be under blue skies
To feel the warmth of the Sun falling on me as I drive on by

'Cause it's a cruel world
Trying to see the beauty in it
All these people trying to keep the planet from spinning
Oh, it's simple you're just hanging on too tight
Gotta let it all go and just
Enjoy the ride
Oh, enjoy the ride

Oh, what a time
Oh, what a life
Oh, what a ride
(The ride)
Oh, what a time
Oh, what a life
Oh, what a ride
