lyrics

Well I just got back the other day
From shores abroad so far away
Things aren't as they seem
Feels like I'm in a dream
So much for this war-torn man
Who grips the glass in the palm of his hand
As the bourbon melts away
Where did I go astray

Take me for a ride
In the back of your car
Parade me around like a big, big star
Take me for a ride
Make 'em go away
I'll put on a smile so I can finish the day

Well I jumped from my bed in the middle of the night
Grabbed my gun and flipped on the light
Sweat was drippin' down
But there was no one around
Flashes of blood and flashes of light
Blinding snow and blinding fright
The grass is always greener on the other side
And I should thank my god that I'm alive

Take me for a ride
In the back of your car
Parade me around like a big, big star
Take me for a ride
Make 'em go away
I'll put on a smile so I can finish the day

Well I guess things really aren't all so bad
Some people see me walking and they seem so sad
But I know inside that I am blessed
And his amazing grace can handle the rest
If it weren't for my wife and my best friend Clay
I think I'd walk on into my grave
Singin' lay them burdens down, boy
Lay them burdens down

Take me for a ride
In the back of your car
Parade me around like a big, big star
Take me for a ride
Make 'em go away
I'll put on a smile so I can finish the day
