JOHN MELLENCAMP - A Ride Back Home lyrics

rate me

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home<br />

I've been out here in this world too long on my own<br />

I won't bother you no more<br />

If you can just get me in the door<br />

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home<br />

<br />

When I started out I was so young and so strong<br />

I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong<br />

Now it's starting to get to me<br />

All of this inhumanity<br />

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home<br />

<br />

You wouldn't know it by looking at me now<br />

But I was showing some promise once upon a time<br />

But it's gone now<br />

And it ain't coming back<br />

My time's come and gone<br />

It's as simple as that<br />

<br />

Hey Jesus this world is just too troublesome for me<br />

I try to fight off all these devils but I'm just too weak<br />

When I'm out here walking all alone<br />

I feel like taking my life but I won't<br />

Too big a coward, can you give me a ride back home<br />

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home<br />

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home</
