Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused on which way to go
So, I've come here to give you a hand
And lead you into the promised land, so
[Chorus]
Come on and take a free ride (Free ride)
Come on and stand here by my side
Come on and take a free ride
[Verse 2]
All over the country, I've seen it the same
Nobody's winning at this kind of game
We gotta do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers must come from within, so
[Chorus]
Come on and take a free ride (Free ride)
Come on and stand here by my side
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Free ride
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
