The Shield

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Let's take a long ride
I wanna go right through the shield
Into the white light
Into the wide, silent fields
Out where the land lies
Telling lies wherever you look
See, it hides the lows and it hides the highs
And the whole roller coaster ride
Alright, woohoo

I can drive while you're sleeping
We'll be long-gone by the light
You know we all got our reasons to stay up at night

Come on, let's go
I don't mind to drive it slow
Let it wipe away the way back home

But it's not what you ever thought
You can leave it, but it's never gone

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Let's take a long ride
I wanna go into another time
When the world was still ours and the jury was still out
And hills were just clouds in the sky
But there's only one way out
And it's on up over uneven ground
So as hard as it seems, take just what you need
'Cause too much, and you'll never succeed
Hey

So come on let's go
I don't mind the winding road
You know I kind of like to drive it slow
Like we're coming home
And the memory's overflowing
And your lungs just sing the songs they know

'Cause it's not what you ever thought
You can leave it, but it's never gone
No, it's not what you ever thought
You can leave it, but it's never gone
