Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind And don't say a single word, get back inside Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night Like I was a ghost Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind And don't say a single word, get back inside Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night Like I was a ghost in a dream And it was all completely wrong, Virginia You were much too much for me I was a boy on the lawn with his eyes to the sky You were Garbo, smoke, and deceit But it was Saturday, September, and fire It was a backdrop set in your smile And it was all I could want in the sway of a song I was haunted for so many years Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind And don't say a single word, get back inside Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in your mind Like I was a ghost in a dream Say goodbye, say goodbye, give a kiss and a sigh Never, never, never bring me back to your mind Let it slide, slide, roll off your mind Like I was a movie you'd seen Oh, it was all just a crime, Virginia Let your fire be mercy to me I was a boy in your arms, safe in your arms And you swore like a promise to me That I would never, never, never leave your heart No, I would never, never, never leave your heart But where are you now? I can still feel you now And I hear all your songs in the breeze Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind Don't say a single word, get back inside Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night Like I was a ghost in your dreams Say goodbye, say goodbye, give a kiss and a sigh Never, never, never bring me back to your mind Let me slide, slide, roll off your mind Like I was a movie you'd seen Let it ride Ride! Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind Don't say a single word, get back inside Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night Like I was a ghost in a dream Oh, say goodbye, say goodbye, give a kiss and a sigh Never, never, never bring me back to your mind Let me slide, girl, slide, roll off your mind Like I was a movie you'd seen Say goodbye, say goodbye, give a kiss and a sigh Never, never bring me back to your mind Let me slide, roll off your mind Like I was a movie you'd seen Ha!
