a ride back home

Singer:john mellencamp

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 just too troublesome for me

i try to fight off all these devils but i'm just too weak

when i'm out here walking all 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
