Ride the Open Road
I first met you back in 1976
There you were standing in that spot
You were all alone in a crowded parking lot
Were you going to let me take you home or not.
I didn’t know what to say to you
You were looking oh so very blue
Standing by yourself not knowing what to do
But oh so bright, shiny and new.
Chorus
Ride, ride, ride the open road
Come on, let’s ride the open road
You and I should ride the open road
Come on, you know it’s time to go.
Mile after mile you drove with me
And I know that the years took their toll on you
But you always looked so pretty in blue
Even when you weren’t bright, shiny and new.
Bridge
It was back in 1998
You and I were out a little late
We got hit head on that night
But everything turned out all right.
You and I are in this forever
You take care of me and I of you
A model two thousand two
You’re the perfect BMW.
Chorus
Ride, ride, ride the open road
Come on, let’s ride the open road
You and I should ride the open road
Come on, you know it’s time to go.
Yeah, you know it’s time to go.
