Ride Away
Austin Jenckes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This town's so small
If you circle the square
Girl You've seen it all
There's no quick fix for a broken heart
When everybody knows who you are
But I can help you start, just call me
If you wanna ride away
If the feeling hits you baby
North, South, East or West
Hey
Me on the right, you on the left hey
So long we'll get gone today
If you wanna ride away
Hey
I wanna be your rock
Wanna be your man
Don't wanna hold your hand
High on a mountain breeze on your hair
By the sea, salt in the air
Baby I'll ride with you
Hit the highway
If the feeling hits you baby
North, South, East or West hey
Me on the right, you on the left hey
So long we'll get gone today
If you wanna ride away
Hey
Nothing holding us back
Nothing tying us down
If you wanna ride away
Baby I'll ride with you
Hit the highway
If the feeling hits you baby
North, South, East or West hey
Me on the right, you on the left hey
So long we'll get gone today
If you wanna ride away
Hey
If you wanna ride away
Baby I'll ride with you
Hit the highway
If the feeling hits you baby
North, South, East or West hey
Me on the right, you on the left hey
So long we'll get gone today
If you wanna ride away
If you wanna ride away
Hey
In the lyrics of Austin Jenckes’s “Ride Away”, the singer is offering a solution to a broken heart. The world is too big and the town is too small - everyone knows you, and there’s no easy healing for a broken heart. But the singer can be the one to help. The song is an invitation to escape - to hit the highway and leave everything behind. The singer wants to be the one driving beside their love interest, freeing them from any ties or restraints. The song suggests that they can go wherever they want; North, South, East, or West - it doesn’t matter, because they will ride away together. The singer is promising to be the support their love interest needs to start fresh and leave their heartbreak behind.
On a closer look, the lyrics suggest that the singer wants to be more than just the support system. They want to be their love interest's rock, and they want to be their man. They want to be the person they can rely on in all aspects of life, as they drive off into the sunset together. Whether it's high on a mountain or by the sea with salt in the air, the singer makes it clear that they want to experience it all with their love interest. The song perfectly captures the feeling of wanting to escape and start over with someone you love, emphasizing the power and freedom of going on a road trip with no strings attached.

The worlds so big
The world is vast
This town's so small
The town is compact
If you circle the square
If you tour around the town center
Girl you've seen it all
You've already experienced everything the town has to offer
There's no quick fix for a broken heart
Healing a broken heart takes time and effort
When everybody knows who you are
Living in a small town means everyone knows each other
But I can help you start, just call me
But he can help her move on, she just needs to reach out

If you want to leave town
Hit the highway
Take the main road out of town

Wanna be your man

High on a mountain breeze on your hair
Driving in the mountains with the wind blowing their hair
By the sea, salt in the air
Being by the ocean with salty air
Baby I'll ride with you
He'll go anywhere with her
Nothing holding us back
No obstacles in their way
Nothing tying us down
No commitments holding them back
If you wanna ride away
If she wants to leave with him
If you wanna ride away
