Riverside

Bought a beater from John Morrow
It was thirty-five dollars without tags
Grabbed the keys
Climbed in through the window,
Goin' down to Riverside

I did something
I don't remember
So I can't apologize
In that red dress, she kicked in the fender
Sat down on the road and cried

I will get release
I will make my peace
Hit the mud and fly
Demolition time
When the flag goes down

In between jobs for building silos
I just barrelled through my pay
Tired of waiting for a sure thing
Goin' down to Riverside
‘Cause they get bored down in Winterset Iowa
Come around to watch us drive
Gonna floor it out onto the highway
Goin’ down to Riverside

Bridge:
Nothin' in this world is made to last
Gas tank under me, window’s got no glass
Safer than a race, 'cause you don't go too fast
When you know you're gonna crash

I will get release
I will make my peace
Just like you and I
It’s demolition time
When the flag goes down

I ain’t waiting
For a sure thing
Goin' down to Riverside
So grab the keys and climb in through the window
We’re goin' down to Riverside.
