Desperate Ride
(Markus Rill)

Well, my headlights are busted
it’s the middle of the night
and the road gets rocky
on the mountainside
Now it’s starting to rain
my tires ‘re starting to slide
I need to take control
but I’m DUI
The last time we talked
I know I made you cry
The last time we talked
you said this is goodbye
Well, I’ll apologize
and try to make things right
if I can only make it home tonight
It’s a desperate ride

Now it’s starting to sleet
and it’s starting to snow
I might’ve lost my way
yeah, but, I don’t know
and the gas tank needle
man, it’s riding low
but I can’t stop and I can’t go slow
You asked me had I stayed true
Lord knows that I tried
you asked me had I stayed true
then you caught me in a lie
Well, I’ll apologize
and try to make things right
if I can only make it home tonight
It’s a desperate ride

Still got a ways to go
about a couple hundred miles
with the rain and the snow
it’s gonna take me all night
now I do my best to stay between the lines
but I can only ever do it for so long a time
When I’m not with you, baby,
I don’t know wrong from right
when I’m not with you, baby,
who’s gonna hold me tight?
Well, I’ll apologize and try to make things right
if I can only make it home tonight
It’s a desperate ride
