I Need a Ride Home

[Verse 1]
It ain't 3 a.m.
And I ain't been drinkin'
But it's been one of those days
That's got my head spinnin'
I've been rushin' around 'til I'm dizzy
Feelin' lonely in the crowd of the city
It ain't 3 a.m. and I ain't been drinkin'

[Chorus]
But I need a ride home
To that little town where I'll always be sixteen years old
I need a two-lane, can't pass, foot on the gas, go real slow
A little magic, little static on the radio
Mom and Daddy sittin' on the front porch wavin' hello
Yeah, I need a ride home

[Verse 2]
I wanna hear the click
Of that old transmission
I need a quick trip
Back to that table in the kitchen
I wanna see that little creek rushin'
Right next to those fields full of nothin'
I need a strong shot of somethin' I've been missin'

[Chorus]
Yeah, I need a ride home
To that little town where I'll always be sixteen years old
I need a two-lane, can't pass, foot on the gas, go real slow
A little magic, little static on the radio
Mom and Daddy sittin' on the front porch wavin' hello
Yeah, I need a ride home

[Bridge]
It ain't 3 a.m.
And I ain't been drinkin'
But it's been one of those days
That's got me thinkin'

[Chorus]
I need a ride home
To that little town where I'll always be sixteen years old
I need a two-lane, can't pass, foot on the the gas, go real slow
A little magic, little static on the radio
Mom and Daddy sittin' on the front porch wavin' hello
Yeah, let's go
I need a ride home
Oh, I need a ride home, mm
