Ride on
Jake Lindholm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burning up my heart thinking of you
Where we've been and where have we gone
Holding tight while it's passing us by
As the storm raged on
lightning flew from the sky
I took one eye for an eye
When the love we feel ain't gone
So we ride on
Oh, you said that you
have done what you can do
Have we given up when we know
People don't change cause you pull the reins
And I stayed when I had to let go
As the storm raged on
lightning flew from the sky
I took one eye for an eye
It might be wrong but I can't say goodbye
When the love we feel ain't gone
So we ride on
Yeah, we ride on
Yeah, we ride on
Yeah, I said we ride on
Yeah, we ride on
Oh, as the storm raged on
lightning flew from the sky
I took one eye for an eye
It might be wrong but I can't say goodbye
When the love we feel ain't gone
So we ride on
Yeah, we ride on
Yeah, we ride on
We ride on
Yeah, we ride on
