Take Me for a Ride

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride Yes, I am a fugitive, but still I'm on your side, side But they'll never ever take me, take this boy alive [Verse 2] Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride Why, I wonder, did you stop and offer me a ride? You havе got one heavy foot, we'rе going ninety-five, five You seem like a girl in need of thrills to stay alive [Bridge] With your Chevy Powerglide You don't have to shift to keep the lawmen far behind With your Chevy Powerglide We don't have to stop, no time [Verse 3] So, take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride Let's avoid all areas that seem too gentrified When you're hungry, we can stop, I just eat food that's fried, fried My name's Johnny, what's your name? You seem so dignified [Bridge] With your Chevy Powerglide We don't have to stop and hide [Verse 1 excerpt] So take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride [Chorus] Let's go, let's go Laura Let's go, let's go Laura Faster, faster Laura Let's go, let's go Laura (Take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride) Let's go, let's go Laura Let's go, let's go Laura (Take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride) Faster, faster Laura Let's go, let's go Laura [Verse 4] Roadblock dead ahead, we've got to crash it, drive, girl, drive They will never, never take this boy alive, alive Now you're an accomplice, and I'm sorry, but that's life, girl Floor it, floor it, floor it, we've now hit a hundred five [Bridge] With your Chevy Powerglide You don't have to shift to keep the lawmen far behind With your Chevy Powerglide We don't have to stop, no time So [Verse 5] They repeat this ritual each Friday night at nine He is an accountant and she teaches kids design Once a week, they live a moment that makes them alive Fighting off the tedium of both their daily lives [Chorus] Let's go, let's go Laura Let's go, let's go Laura (Take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride) Faster, faster Laura Let's go, let's go Laura (I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride, ride) Let's go, let's go Laura Let's go, let's go Laura (Take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride) Faster, faster Laura Let's go, let's go Laura (I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride, ride) [Verse 1] Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me for a ride, ride I don't know a thing about you, but I need a ride Yes, I am a fugitive, but still I'm on your side, ride But they'll never ever take me, take this boy alive
