Along For The Ride Lyrics - John Denver

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on One World album, and has also been released on the Country Classics album. 

I had a '56 T-Bird 

Then I was king of the highway 

Trying to make it look fast and easy 

And dreamin' of doin' it my way 

Let's put the top down baby 

Feel the wind in our hair 

We were too young to know better 

And too cool to care 

All I wanted was you by my side 

Baby you're only along for the ride 

Only along for the ride

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Rock and roll on the radio 

Let's turn it up and get down 

Convertible dreams running wild in the streets 

In the all time American town 

When you played the thrill queen, baby 

I heard the jazz of joy 

You were every girl in the world 

But I wasn't every boy 

All I wanted was you by my side 

Baby, you're only along for the ride 

All I wanted was you by my side 

Baby, you're only along for the ride 

Only along for the ride 

Memory pink and charcoal grey 

Are the clours I painted this song 

You were 19 and perfect, baby 

But no one stays perfect too long

All I wanted was you by my side 

Baby you're only along for the ride 

Only along for the ride
