Ride - Lana Del Rey - Lyrics

Hello YouTube!

This is one of my all-time favorite songs by one of my all-time favorite artists.
The footage was taken in Phoenix by @Adam Fackelman, so check out his channel!

Lyrics:
I've been out on that open road
You can be my full time daddy,
White and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full time baby,
Hot or cold

Don't break me down
I've been travelin' too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song

I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride

Dying young and I'm playing hard
That's the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road dogs do it – ride 'til dark.

Don't leave me now
Don't say good bye
Don't turn around
Leave me high and dry

I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride

I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride

I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, I just ride

"i'm tired of feeling like i'm fucking crazy." is my favourite part

[sadbutterfly]

Next generations will be sad not existed in the Lanas era.
She is so perfect, her music, her voice, her lyrics. She's a poet.❤️❤️❤️💕

[crimsonduskbeautifulchaos]

My heart aches and I feel completely broken but oh how Lana's voice is the only thing that helps me.

[rubric_ra]

This song is one of the finest composed vocal melodies of the decade.

I hope next generation listen to this angel's voice

[tomris]

[bunnywavyxx]

"i hear the birds on the summer breeze ... been trying hard not to get into trouble but i, ive got a war on my mind" _just_ perfect.

[idin]

This song bring back many memories, when I was battling depression and addiction, trying to distract myself by being on the road, drinking and sharing bed with strangers, out of control, but thank God I'm okay at the moment and I'm trying my best to heal and stay sober ♥️

[aniellencorrea]

I think that this road is the climb to the Hollywood sign. So poetic.

[ma-kvgi]

Oh my gosh the way she screams "I JUST at the end is so beautiful😻

[afterhourscinema]

*To me, this is my most personal Lana song.* I can't listen to this without crying. It reminds me of everytime I cut or nearly drank myself to death. Or the lonely nights I would spend in my truck, homeless. A drunk coke addict with nothing to look forward to but death. And yet, Lana would help me pull forward. I can only wish I could tell her how much she means to me. Thank you Elizabeth Grant for everything you've done ❤ You may not know it, but your music has saved a life, at the very least, my own

[JF-eprm]

I could watch this on a loop for 20 hours

[JM-ujsm]

“i’m tired of feeling like i’m fucking crazy.” ms. lana del rey has described exactly how i’ve felt yet again.

[ruqayyahassan]

, ,I've got a war in my mind" most relatable part ever

[jaserchamchay]

nothing like a lonely depression drive late at night on a summer night, listening to this masterpiece

[darcy_glitter]

"i'm tired of feeling like i'm fucking crazy'' that part is so relatable. i love lana del rey so much. she's one of the best artists from the world. her songs are just so beautiful and magical <3

[Dez_Stan]

I feel bad that I wasn’t a Lana Del Rey fan back then, just by listening to her as a new fan in 2024 unlocks nostalgic memories…

[happythepenguincarrot]

i love the beginning it's so beautfiul and free.

[lostandgone]

This song reminds me of crushing sadness and uplifting highs and I listen over and over a nice mix of nothing ... love it

[alyssalang]

Misery is beauty beauty is misery. Lana reminds me of this everyday.
