I had a '56 T-Bird
Man, I was king of the highway
Tried to make it look fast and easy
Dreaming of doing 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
ย
Rock 'n' 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 and 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
ย
Velvet pink and charcoal gray
Are the colors I painted this song
You were nineteen 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
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
All I wanted was you by my side
Baby, you're only along for the ride
