Lyrics

The Long Ride written by Keith Taylor and Bruce Taylor

You know how to move me
You know what I like
You know what keeps me going
At the end of the night

And when I'm tired
You hold out your hand
Wrap your arms around me
Make me understand

That I couldn't live a single day without you
Wouldn't last a moment if I tried
And if our life together is a journey
You can count me in for the long ride

You know what I'm thinking
Most of the time
You see right through me
When you read my mind

And when I've fallen
You're there when I land
You help me up again
Make me understand

That I couldn't live a single day without you
Wouldn't last a moment if I tried
And if our life together is a journey
You can count me in for the long ride

And it's a journey we'll take together
And we can do it side by side
There's no turning back
I think you know it
Cause we're into it for the long ride

I couldn't live a single day without you
Wouldn't last a moment if I tried
And if our life together is a journey
You can count me in for the long ride
You can count me in for the long ride
