This Ride


Enjoy the Ride ~ Jem

Life, it's ever so strange
It's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out
then BANG
Right out of the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course
and then you

Breakdown
Yeah you breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
no need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
don't be scared
don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don't forget it's just a ride

Truth, we don't wanna hear
It's too much to take
Don't like to feel out of control
So we make our plans
Ten times a day
And when they don't go
our way we

Breakdown
Yeah we breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
no need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
don't be scared
don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don't forget it's just a ride

Slowly, oh so very slowly
accept that
there's no getting off
So live it, just gotta go with it
coz this ride's, never gonna stop

Breakdown
Don't you breakdown
No need to breakdown
No need at all
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
no need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
don't be scared now
dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don't forget enjoy the ride


I heard this song this morning on my way to work...it made me stop and think...well the "stop" part was totally figurative as I was cruisin' the 5 at 85...it's just a ride...

But speaking of stupid people (no I wasn't previously, but it was the only segueway I could think of at this moment) as I was driving today, this idiot in a little Ford passed a truck on the left shoulder...yeah that would indeed be in the median! Apparently the truck was annoying to him...I agree, and those who've been privileged to ride with me know I get a bit testy with slow trucks in front of me (did ya'll like the understatement?) ;-) Anyway, it gets better, that car passed on the shoulder in front of a CHP officer...but wait...there's more...the CHP officer can't do anything about it...why you ask? Because he'd already run his own car off the road and it was parked all askew in the median!!!

It's a crazy, crazy ride...ya gotta love it...
