Ride Away Lyrics
by Roy Orbison
"Ride Away"
(Roy Orbison - Bill Dees)
Intro:
(acoustic guitar doubled w/acoustic bass (4X; continue into verse):)
v v v v
Verse 1:
Two wheels a-turnin'
One girl a-yearnin'
Big motor burnin' the road
(drums enter)
I'll ride the highway
I'm going my way
I leave a story untold
Chorus 1:
Pretty girls behind me
But pretty girls are ev...'rywhere
Big motor wind up
Ride on away from here
(1:) D E
Ride away
Bridge A:
She won't approve of things I do or what I am
And I don't really give a... I understand
But she'll never see
That I'll never be
Anyone but me
Bridge B:
She thinks she needs me
She cries for me
But I know she's lying
Crying for others to see
What can I say
I'll just ride away
Verse 2:
(Ride, ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Big motor run, run
Ride on away from
Heartache and misery
I'm bound to wander (big motor run, run)
Way over yonder
Someone may wait just for me
Chorus 2:
True love to cling to
I need a dream to share
Someone to know me
Someone to show me they care
Coda:
Ride away
Ride away
From tears and sorrow
Like there's no tomorrow
Tonight I'll ri-ide away
(repeat intro riff to fade)
