John Mellencamp — A Ride Back Home

Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home? I’ve been out here in this world too long on my own I won’t bother You no more If You can just get me in the door Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home? When I started out, I was so young and so strong I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong Now it’s starting to get to me All of this inhumanity Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home? You wouldn’t know it by looking at me now But I was showing some promise once upon a time But it’s gone now And it ain’t coming back My time’s come and gone It’s as simple as that Hey Jesus, this world is too troublesome for me I try to fight off all these devils, but I’m just too weak When I’m out here walking alone I feel like taking my life, but I won’t Too big a coward, can You give me a ride back home? Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home? Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?
