Simplistic
I just released my first solo album after two years of working on it. Also, I'm currently playing in the band National Road which is a four-piece acoustic outfit based in Frostburg, Maryland. Several members of the band contributed to the album.
Story behind the song
A bouncy little love song.
Lyrics
“The Ride”
Music & Lyrics by Eric J. Baker/Tricia A. Baker (2010)
You were meant to be right here next to me from now until the end
We were born to be together, you and me, as lovers and as friends
CHORUS
You give me the strength, the strength to carry on
You give me the will, the will I thought was gone
You will always be one who’s dear to me and safe within my heart
We can’t help but be what each other needs, together or apart
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Didn’t seem the odds were on our side
Thank God that we hung on for the ride
The years they pass us by, but you’re by my side as I knew you’d be
‘Cause I love you and, Baby, you love me
As our hair’s turnin’ gray, Babe, I’ve got to say there’s no place I’d rather be
‘Cause I love you and, Baby, you love me
Well, the world goes round and round, to you I’m always bound, just as I wanted to be
‘Cause I love you and, Baby, you love me
Oh, people come and go, but we’ll always know our friendship is the key
‘Cause I love you and, Baby, you love me
La da da da da, la la da da da…
