Rough Ride
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I needed loving, needed a friend
I needed something, that would be there in the end
On a rough ride to heaven
Want to get inside, what will I do?
On a rough ride to heaven
I want to get inside to be with you
I knew you'd help me, I knew you could
You knew I didn't want to be misunderstood
On a rough ride to heaven
Want to get inside, what will I do?
On a rough ride to heaven
I want to get inside, to be with you
I'm not asking for an easy passage
So I hope you understand
I'm not after any special treatment
But I wouldn't mind a hand
On a rough ride, on a rough ride
On a rough ride, on a rough ride
On a rough ride to heaven
Want to get inside, what will I do?
