Give Me A Ride Lyrics

Reo Speedwagon

Give me a ride on your roller coaster
Give me a thrill, i can't help feelin' bored
Give me a dime to call my baby closer
'cause i'm alone, i'm feelin' bored
I can't help thinking i'm ignored

I've been away far too long to recall
Just what it's like to be among my friends
Give me a pill to ease my nervous tension
'cause i can't hardly see the end
I long to be among my friends

I've been on the road for too long, i don't know
I'm walking around and i don't know where to go.
Well i'm half-crazed and i don't know who to be
Won't you please! help me please!
Won't you please! i long to be at ease!

Give me a ride on your magic carpet
Take me away from this mediocrity
What must i do to get me feeling better
I guess it all boils down to me
Responsibility's on me
