World album, and has also been released on the Country Classics

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

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
