Gimmie A Ride Lyrics

It's an unjust world

You've gotta play your part

Bottle up your anger

Shut down your heart

Let 'em see you smile, man

Show 'em what they want to see

If you take the plea

Probably get an early release

I gave up all my vices

I've been keeping myself clean

No more drinking or smoking

No more methamphetamines

Gimme a ride

Throw me a bone

Help me to leave

Help me go home

I might not live forever

And you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

So won't you gimme a ride

Help me go home

Yeah, they caught me again

Dee-double-you-eye

Blew a point one-three

Now they won't let me drive

Got a sweet little girl

She must be nine or ten

And I wonder if her mama's

Ever gonna let me see her again

I'lll make damn sure her mama knows that she's halfway to blame

Her little heart's been broken

And she'll never be the same

Gimme a ride

Throw me a bone

Help me to leave

Help me go home

I might not live forever

And you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

So won't you gimme a ride

Help me go home

I was a stud at baseball

Made my daddy so proud

Till I got caught up

With the wrong damn crowd

I tried to read the Bible

But it takes too long

I'll ask Jesus to forgive me

Cause I've got to be moving along

Do my best each Sunday

By Monday I've lost my mind

Might still be a sinner

But I'm the forgiven kind

Gimme a ride

Throw me a bone

Help me to leave

Help me go home

I might not live forever

And you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

So won't you gimme a ride

Help me go home
