about

Ride on is the most recent release from a mid-western Michigan band known mostly as Roots Asylum. The arrangement includes a festival of rock sounds to the delight of your inner greedy musical agent of hysteria. That's not to mention that this song could be added to a sex music playlist, a motorcycle drive playlist, a punk pop pogo dance playlist, or any darn playlist you can think of probably. Except Gregorian chants Classical music and so forth, it's a universal jam so dig it!

lyrics

Lifes a itty bitty little bitch sometimes
Did she lift you up just to smack you down?
I can see your licking your wounds right now
Let's keep moving on

Took a long trip down a one way road
Turned around, looked back and went too far
Turn around but there's no way back now
Let's get out of town

Ride on the easy
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Babe, it's gonna be pleasin'
Easy for you and me
Ride on the easy
Ridy on free
Ride on the easy
Ride on free

Wrap your arms around me
We'll follow the wheel
Wrap your legs around me
I'm chrome and steel
Nowhere to be for you and me
No we don't belong

Ride on the easy
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Babe, it's gonna be pleasin'
Easy for you and me
Ride on the easy
Ridy on free
Ride on the easy
Ride on free

Lifes a itty bitty little bitch sometimes
Did she lift you up just to smack you down?
Can't you see I'n licking my wounds right now
Let's keep moving on

Wrap your arms around me
We'll follow the wheel
Wrap your legs around me
I'm chrome and steel
Nowhere to be for you and me
No we don't belong

Ride on the easy
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Babe, it's gonna be pleasin'
Easy for you and me
Ride on the easy
Ridy on free
Ride on the easy
Easy for you and me now now now
Easy for you and me
