Roy Orbison Ride Away Lyrics

Written by: William Dees, Roy Orbison
#25 Aug '65 Hot 100

Two wheels a turnin'
One girl a yearnin'
Big motor burnin' the road

I'll ride the highway
I'm going my way
I'll leave a story untold

Pretty girls behind me
but pretty girls are everywhere
Big motor wind up,
ride on away from here

Ride away

She won't approve of things I do or what I am
And I don't really give a ...... I understand
But she'll never see that I'll never be
Any one but me

She thinks she needs me, she cries for me
But I know she's lying, crying for others to see
What can I say, I'll just ride away

(background) Ride ride away
Big motor run run
Ride on away from
Heart-ache and misery

(background) Big motor run run
I'm bound to wander
Way over yonder
Someone be waitin' just for me

True love to cling to,
I need a dream to share
Someone to know me,
Someone to show me they care

Ride away, ride away
From tears and sorrow
Like there's no tomorrow
Tonight I'll ride away
