Hard as a sudden fall
Cold as a winters wind
Things you don't know
Still can hurt you, my friend

Holding on tight
Until the truth bites
Don't know which is worse
The road or the ride

With focus kept
More on the past
Where we can't accept
What lies ahead

Take it all in stride
The slip with the slide
Kicking up gravel
The road and the ride

Windows rolled down
To beat the heat
The past in the mirror
Is smaller than it appears to be

You can pick up the speed
On new horizons to find
But you'll never be free
Of the road and the ride
