Willing to Ride

Change my life
Oh, you bet I'm gonna change my life
After all these years of moving
I'm heading home

12 ocean drive
Right by the shore
Not many rooms
It only has four

But for now, another marathon
Another dead on my feet
Another time clock to beat
Bruise on my shin, desperate to win
Just like it's always been

12 ocean drive
Right by the shore
Is the palace I've been longing for
One last marathon
One last marathon
Just one more

Here I go again
I can hear that merry-go-round
And though I never cared much for the sound
I'm willing to ride

There's the Ferris wheel
A miracle, that circle of steel
It's funny how nervous it's making me feel
Yet willing to ride

This time, although I'll do it
I swear it's the last time
I'll ever put myself through it
I have to stop remembering when
And now must be now and then must be then
I'm learning to quiet that butterfly riot inside
I'm willing to ride

But now must be now
And then must be then
I've struck out before
And I couldn't forget if I tried

But I'm up to bat again
Tossing my hat again
Here I go again
Willing to ride!
