Along For The Ride (’56 T-bird)

John Denver

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
