I Choose The Ride

If you've got somewhere to go back to

Maybe it's hard

Maybe it's bleak

Words were said

Maybe your daddy smacked you

If you got somewhere, go back and patch the leak

If you got people thinkin' of you

Maybe they're wrong

Maybe you're right

Even if you think that they don't love you

At least

It's somewhere to fall asleep at night

'Cause this place

Ain't even a place

This place ain't no kind of home

It's just a way to get from nowhere to nowhere else

If you got somewhere to go back to

You should go

If you'd asked a week ago

I would've said yes

Somewhere to go back to

A home that was blessed with light

The future looked bright

How fast it all can change

The blink of an eye

Your future can disappear

And people can die

Who are we talkin' about, son?

My folks

Car crash

Police said it was instant

I don't have somewhere to go back to

My folks

They're gone

The house

The one that I grew up in

Belongs to the bank now

So I moved on

This place, this place

This place, this place

This place is always in motion

This place is so alive

If it's a choice between nothing

And nowhere

I choose the nowhere on wheels

I choose the ride

This place is always in motion (this place, this place)

This place is so alive (this place, this place)

If it's a choice between this place (ooh)

And anywhere else

I choose the nowhere on wheels

I choose the rattle of steel

I choose the circus

I choose the ride
