I had a '56
T-Bird Then I was king of the highway Trying to make it look fast and
easy And dreamin' of doin' 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 and 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 of 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
Memory pink and charcoal grey Are the
clours I painted this song You were 19 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 Only along for the ride
