The Ride

Two cups of coffee to get me in the shower
Lord knows I'm not the greatest at this early hour
So pour me another to help me on my way
I'm good enough to get there and I'm getting there today
I'm getting there today
I've been a loser, I've been a fool
Two-timing player sure took me to school
He put me down, but I will not stay
I'm good enough to get up and I'm getting up today
I'm getting up today
I spun my wheels in a hot-rodded car
A whole lotta fun but we didn't get far
Freedom is when you decide
You're not just along for the ride
There's a big ol' cloud of dust in my rearview mirror
Nowhere in my sights and Waylon on the ears
He's a sayin', Girl, you're crazy and you might just go insane
But you're good enough to get out, best be getting out today
So I'm a getting out today
I don't need a map, just the open road
To take me further down the line to the next episode
With freedom riding shotgun by my side
I'm not just along for the ride

Thought I oughta drop a postcard to let him know I'm gone
Didn't make mention of all the ways that it went wrong
Just a picture of the sunset callin' my name
Should be good enough to get it, he'll be getting it today
He should be gettin' it today
I don't owe him that, he was so doggone mean
But I've always been one to try to keep my hands clean
Now freedom is my alibi
And I'm not just along for the ride
I don't need a map, just the open road
To take me further down the line to the next episode
Freedom is my alibi
Freedom riding shotgun by my side
Freedom is when you decide
You're not just along for the ride
