Ride, Ride, Ride

VERSE::Daddy drove a truck and I guess I always knew 
That's why Mama cried, the way she used to do 
He'd never be at home long, a day or two is all 
'Til he'd look down the road, take his had down from the wall 


CHORUS: Then he'd ride, ride, ride down that endless highway 
Chasing a dream as the miles rolled away 
Driving all day just to reach the night time 
Driving through the night to find a brand new day 


VERSE: One day he called me to him, and he said, "I'm not surprised 
"To see you got your Daddy's far-away look in your eyes 
"I guess you're just like me, Girl, we're two of a kind 
"We'll always be a-searching for something we can't find" 


CHORUS: "You're gonna ride, ride, ride down that endless highway 
Chasing a dream as the miles roll away 
Driving all day just to reach the night time 
Driving through the night to find a brand new day 


VERSE: Just a few days later, I finally realized 
That he had gone for good, and he'd tried to tell me why 
I've spent so many years now, living on this road 
Looking for the father that left so long ago 


CHORUS: Now I ride, ride, ride down that endless highway 
Chasing a dream as the miles roll away 
Driving all day just to reach the night time 
Driving through the night to find a brand new day 
Driving through the night to find a brand new day
