[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
So let's go flying for the weekend
This airplane's got room for two, yeah
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

[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
'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
