Sunshine / Nowhere to Run
Ride Lyrics


Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hear the engine running as the
Tour bus pulls away
The sadness of the road will be
The death of me one day
I'm sick and tired of my guitar
And the same old songs again
And so I write a new one
That's the nature of the game

And when the party's over
I've got nowhere to run
The road goes on forever
Even when we're dead and gone

Drinking in a hotel room
I hate what I've become
I'm turning back to nothing
All my dreams have come undone
The spotlight drew me over
Now it's burning me away
So I'm looking for the real me
In some shadow when I play
And when the party's over
I've got nowhere to run
The road goes on forever
Even when we're dead and gone

But my love, she's so fine
She gives me the sunshine after the rain

My love, you're so fine
You give me sunshine when the storm is over
You give me the sunshine

My love, you're so fine
You make my sun shine when the storm is over
You give me the sunshine after the rain
