It’s such a very long time ago
And we were riding down the dusty road
I took a turn around the dusty track
And said I’m never ever coming back
Aw, but baby come and ride with me
Come on and ride like it used to be
I know you like the way it feels
Riding high on a pair of wheels

Let’s ride, let’s ride, let’s ride
Take me up and won’t you come on, let’s ride

It took me twenty-five thousand miles
A new starter and a pair of tyres
When at last I realised the end
Was coming up around the bend
I turned around and scraped my boots
And headed back again towards my roots
The wind was blowing through my hair
And the sun was shining everywhere

Let’s ride, let’s ride, let’s ride
Take me up and won’t you come on, let’s ride

A little loving goes a long, long way
And it called me back again
Now I know which way to go
I’m never ever gonna ride alone
So baby come and ride with me
Come on and ride like it used to be
I know you like the way it feels
Ridng high upon a pair of wheels

Let’s ride, let’s ride, let’s ride
Take me up and won’t you come on, let’s ride
Let’s ride, let’s ride, let’s ride
Take me up and won’t you come on, let’s ride
