(Intro) (Car door opens... engine starts...) Yeah... You ready? (You ready...) Let's go... (Verse 1) You climbed in and smiled, Pulled the seat a little closer. Reached over and turned the music up, Then looked right back at me. Streetlights coming through the windshield, Your hand resting on my leg. Neither one of us asked, "Where are we going?" We just drove. (Just drove...) (Pre-Chorus) Ain't gotta hurry... (Hurry...) Ain't gotta chase nothing... (Nothing...) Long as you're right here... (Right here...) We're good. (Chorus) Ride slow... (Ride slow...) Don't rush home... (Rush home...) Windows down... (Windows down...) Radio on... (Radio on...) Take my hand... (Take my hand...) Stay right here... (Right here...) Every mile... (Every mile...) Gets better with you. (With you...) (Verse 2 – Hip-Hop) Stopped at a red light, You started singing the chorus. Didn't know all the words, Didn't matter. I laughed, You shoved my shoulder, Then laughed even harder. That's probably My favorite part of the whole night. Not the drive. Not the music. Just you being you. (Being you...) (Bridge – Doo-Wop) Shoo-bop... Take the long way... (Long way...) Shoo-bop... We got time... (Got time...) Whoa-oh... Don't turn yet... (Don't turn yet...) (Final Chorus) Ride slow... (Ride slow...) One more mile... (One more mile...) No destination... (Destination...) Just your smile... (Your smile...) Keep this song... (This song...) Playing low... (Playing low...) If you're with me... (With me...) Let's ride slow. (Ride slow...) (Record Stop) (Engine idles.) Lead (softly): "Wanna take the long way home?" (Background harmonies) Yeah... Ride slow... Shoo-bop... (Fade out with the sound of the car driving away.)
