Hell of a Ride
Adam Brand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we stuck with each other like it or not
But there's nothing like friends to make you feel alive
We didn't win every battle but God knows we tried
Here's to the sinners here's to the saints
Here's to the people who I'd like to thank
You drink to me I'll drink to you
If we die tonight that'd be alright
Coz we had one hell of a ride
We kicked up some dust and we sure made some noise
But girls will be girls and us boys will be boys
They called us crazy we proved em wrong
They'll be talking 'bout us long after we're gone
The opening lines of the song 'Hell of a Ride' by Adam Brand suggest that the singer and his friends have been through a lot together - perhaps they've had tough times or endured hardships, yet they've managed to stick with each other despite anything that may have come up. The idea of camaraderie and the value of friendship is evident throughout the song, with the chorus repeatedly saying, "Here's to the sinners, here's to the saints, here's to the people who I'd like to thank." The lyrics seem to suggest that the singer has a great appreciation for the people in his life who have supported him through thick and thin, and that he's not one to take those relationships for granted.
The lyrics of the song also contain an air of celebration and living life to the fullest, even in the face of uncertainty. The line, "If we die tonight that'd be alright, coz we had one hell of a ride," seems to encapsulate this idea perfectly. It suggests that while the singer and his friends may not know what the future holds, they're content with the experiences they've had up until now and wouldn't have any regrets should they die. The second verse builds on this idea further, with lines like "we kicked up some dust and we sure made some noise" representing the idea of living life on one's own terms, rather than playing it safe and always following the rules.
Overall, 'Hell of a Ride' by Adam Brand seems to be a song about appreciating the people in one's life who have supported them through hard times, celebrating the moments that have made life worth living, and embracing the unknown with open arms.
Line by Line Meaning
I guess you could say we've been through a lot
Our experiences together have been intense and significant
And we stuck with each other like it or not
Despite our differences, we remained loyal to one another
But there's nothing like friends to make you feel alive
The support and camaraderie of friends adds vitality to life
We didn't win every battle but God knows we tried
Though we faced challenges, we made every effort to overcome them
Here's to the sinners here's to the saints
Toasting those who may have flaws alongside those who are virtuous
Here's to the people who I'd like to thank
Acknowledging those who have contributed positively to life
You drink to me I'll drink to you
Reciprocal gratitude, mutual recognition of each other's value
Let's drink together but before we do...
Proposing a collective celebratory act, with a caveat
If we die tonight that'd be alright
Accepting that death may come at any moment, and it's OK
Coz we had one hell of a ride
Because we lived so fully and meaningfully
We kicked up some dust and we sure made some noise
We were dynamic and bold, and left an impression
But girls will be girls and us boys will be boys
Acknowledging gender differences in behavior and attitudes
They called us crazy we proved em wrong
We defied expectations, and showed that our choices were valid
They'll be talking 'bout us long after we're gone
Our impact will endure beyond our mortal lives
