Lyrics

Hard Ride

[Verse 1]

You're in the danger zone

You can't be left alone

Your heart is in this for the ride

[Pre-Chorus]

But when it comes down to it

You spoke your mind, now you blew it

I want you when I want and still I hear you say

[Chorus]

(Hard ride) Hard ride

(With me) With me

It's a matter of time before you fall down on your knees

(Hard ride) Hard ride

(Stay free) Stay free

It's a matter of time 'fore it's too late

[Verse 2]

The pressure's building up

You feeling that you've had enough

So go now away

[Pre-Chorus]

So now I'll lay it on the table

You're feeling so unstable

I want to love you but you seem so far away

[Chorus]

(Hard ride) Hard ride

(With me) With me

It's a matter of time before you fall down on your knees

(Hard ride) Hard ride

(Stay free) Stay free

It's a matter of time 'fore it's too late

[Bridge]

And I don't even know your name

I just want to throw you away

Get out, get out

I never have to throw you away

But you come back every time

[Guitar Solo: Diamond Darrell]

[Chorus]

(Hard ride) Hard ride

(With me) With me

It's a matter of time before you fall down on your knees

(Hard ride) Hard ride

(Stay free) Stay free

It's a matter of time 'fore it's too late

(Hard ride) Hard ride

(With me) With me

It's on tonight, on your life

(Hard ride) Hard ride

(Stay free) Stay free
