John Mellencamp A Ride Back Home Lyrics

A Ride Back Home Lyrics

Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?

I've been out here in this world too long on my own

I won't bother You no more if You can just get me in the door

Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?



When I started out I was so young and so strong

I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong

Now it's starting to get to me, all of this inhumanity

Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?



You wouldn't know it by looking at me now

But I was showing some promise once upon a time

But it's gone now and it ain't coming back

My time's come and gone, it's as simple as that



Hey Jesus, this world is too troublesome for me

I try to fight off all these devils but I'm just too weak

When I'm out here walking alone I feel like taking my life but I won't

Too big a coward, can You give me a ride back home?

Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?

Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?
