White Wall Tires

Memories of driving that 1968 Cadillac Coupe De Ville through Groom, Texas all those years ago ...My first video; with Isabella on backing vocals.

White wall tyres on a dusty road
'Lay Down Sally' on the radio
Coke can rolling from side to side
You came along for the ride.

Gotta get going while I still can
The way things are slipping through the palm of my hand
All those dreams I locked up inside
And you came along for the ride.

You came along for the ride, you told me
You're not looking to tie or hold me down;
Well, that's alright
I like having you around.

I could never bother which road I choose
Heads I win and tails I lose
Double headed eagle always been my guide
But you came along for the ride,
You came along for the ride.

Every one said it'd never last
They didn't the miles go rushing past
With you still sitting here by my side
You came along for the ride.

Okay, I just watched 3 of your originals ... and each of them was excellent! You earned my subscription on one condition ... keep on putting out these clever tunes. Your lyrics are just great and i like that you switch instruments and bring in Isabella. Excellent work you guys. Keep going!
