It's been a lonely ride, It's been a lonely ride, I've traveled far and wide, Across the countryside, It's been a lonely ride. So come and join me for the weekend, My bunks got room for two, (yeah) Carve some time out for an old friend, We'll make a run from Birmingham to Baton Rouge, Girl I'd love to share a window seat with you. I've got a bird's eye view, I've got a bird's eye view, But the higher up I go, The more company I leave below, It's a lonely bird's eye view. So let's go flying for the weekend, This airplane's got room for two, You won't regret a moment we spend, They'll be nothing like the motions you'll go through, Come on, let me share a window seat with you. Across the Delta by the morning honey, We'll kiss our blues away, Louisiana let's you love her a little, Oh, but don't you get attached, We'll have to send you back come Monday. Across the Delta by the morning honey, We'll kiss our blues away, Louisiana let's you love her a little, Oh, but don't you get attached, We'll have to send you back come Monday 'Cause I need a lonely ride, I need a lonely ride, oh ya, I've got a voice inside, It's chipping at this pilgrims pride, And, I need a lonely ride I need a lonely ride I need a lonely ride I need a lonely ride
