Thanks For The 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 washed chain grease and blood off of my hands in the ocean

I let the salt water rinse the dirt away

I stood calm in a room I hadn't been in in a decade

I felt dizzy, used to stand here everyday

Wait out the storm in a harbor town

Pretend I'll see you in fall

Wait out the storm in a harbor town

Whoa

Hey hannah, don't go

We could have given you such a beautiful home

I won't call

Know you're waiting right outside

Thanks for the ride

I watched lines of container ships drift in just off of long beach

I thought long about where you would be today

We'd lose touch after college came and went

I'd hear you got married to some boy from california

Have a baby on the way

Wait out the storm in a harbor town

Pretend I'll see you in fall

Wait out the storm in a harbor town

Whoa

Hey hannah, don't go

We could have given you such a beautiful home

I won't call

Know you're waiting right outside

Thanks for the ride

Hey hannah, don't go

We could have given you such a beautiful home

I won't call

Know you're waiting right outside

I'm letting balloons drift off - tiny gifts to a lonely God

Darlin' please wake up

I'm letting balloons drift off - tiny gifts to a lonely God

If you see her tell her I'm not giving up

(See her tell her I'm not giving up)

Hey hannah, don't go

We could have given you such a beautiful home

I won't call

Know you're waiting right outside

Hey hannah, don't go

We could have given you such a beautiful home

I won't call

Know you're waiting right outside

(Thanks for the ride)

Hey hannah, don't go

We could have given you such a beautiful home

I won't call

Know you're waiting right outside

Thanks for the ride
