Wild Ride

Dwight Yoakam

I walked in 
There sat Slim 
Cleaning up his memory 
With some sapphire gin 
Mr. Paine grabbed my arm 
Pulled me aside 
And said, kid are you ready for the wild ride 

I looked up 
There she stood 
I said, if you didn't look so great 
I'd say you look good 
Ah, she took her hand 
Ran it up my thigh 
And said, cowboy you ready for the wild ride 

Come on now junior take the wild ride 
See can you make it on the wild ride 
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride 
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride 

Layin' on the highway 
I saw my mind 
In tiny little pieces 
Thrown from side to side 
My heart was shattered 
Along with my pride 
Guess you can't keep 'em on the wild ride 

Come on now junior take the wild ride 
See can you make it on the wild ride 
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride 
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride 

I was crawlin' 'cross the floor 
I was tryin' to leave 
When I felt something tuggin' what was 
Left of my sleeve 
I heard a little voice with a 
Gold-plated vibe 
Say, I bought a ticket for the wild ride 

Come on now junior take the wild ride 
See can you make it on the wild ride 
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride 
We might just break it on the wild ride 

Come on now junior take the wild ride 
See can you make it on the wild ride 
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride 
We might just break it on the wild ride 

Come on, Come 
Take me on a wild ride 
See can you make me on the wild ride 
Come on and shake me on the wild ride 
You might just break me on the wild ride
