RIDE HOME

[Verse 1] Ten miles of backroads Two in the morning Dust on the windshield Radio humming The fire burned down The porch light grew small One by one the voices faded Till only echoes called Some nights end early Some nights hold on tight Some nights keep finding reasons To stretch another mile of night [Pre-Chorus] Nobody wanted The evening to end So we carried the laughter Around another bend [Chorus] Ride home Windows down Laughing while the town shuts down Long night Almost gone Somehow we're still carrying on Every story gets bigger Every wrong turns right Everybody looks a little better On the ride home tonight [Verse 2] Some followed the music Some followed the smoke Some followed a feeling Nobody could explain or quote The chairs got folded The fire sank low But the best part of some evenings Starts when it's time to go The road rolled softly Beneath the tires and stars Like it knew exactly Who we already are [Pre-Chorus] No need for answers No need for a plan Just one more conversation Before tomorrow began [Chorus] Ride home Windows down Laughing while the town shuts down Long night Almost gone Somehow we're still carrying on Every story gets bigger Every wrong turns right Everybody looks a little better On the ride home tonight [Bridge] They didn't ask for reasons They didn't need a name Good people make a place for you And treat you just the same The jokes got quieter The stars burned bright And gratitude settled softly Into the middle of the night [Final Chorus] Ride home Windows down Moonlight laying silver on the ground Long night Worth the drive Little moments make a bigger life The miles grow shorter The memories stay Everybody looks a little better At the end of a good day Ride home Windows down Still carrying pieces of that little town Everybody looks a little better On the ride home tonight [Outro] The road kept rolling The radio low Some nights are over Before you're ready to go
