lyrics

I was hitching for a lift ‘long a lonely country road
Wasn’t having too much luck, Lord I was hungry, I was cold
From over the horizon came a reason to believe
There might be a God in heaven, might be watching over me
I said, "How far are you going?", as I looked into her eyes
She said, "Son, you're just a passenger I’m taking for a ride"

I was sleeping in my hotel room; they're knocking down my door
Someone screaming something 'bout me breaking local law
It must have crossed my mind but it was useless to resist
Shone their torches in my eyes and slapped their handcuffs on my wrists
At the car he pushed my head down and he made me get inside
Wanted answers to some questions so they took me for a ride

CHORUS
I’ve been taken for a ride
And I took the long way home
Guess I’m on the road less travelled
'Cause I like to walk alone
And I lie awake and wonder
'Bout that feeling deep inside
Chances are I've just been taken for a ride

I had myself a pretty girlfriend that I just adored
Used to buy her lots of presents that I could not afford
My best friend called to say she's cheating, I'm glad my best friend phoned
He said she'd leave me when she'd taken everything I owned
Then it hit me like a left hook, right then I realised
Don’t you put you trust in anything, you'll just get taken for a ride

CHORUS
I’ve been taken for a ride
And I took the long way home
Guess I’m on the road less travelled
'Cause I like to walk alone
And I lie awake and wonder
'Bout that feeling deep inside
Chances are I've just been taken for a ride
Chances are I've just been taken for a ride
