You’re young, full of energy, it’s raining and you’re cooped up all day on Saturday. All you want to do is get out and suddenly the rain stops and sunlight hits the window pain,…

(For Liam, my son)

Song Lyrics:

Take Us For A Ride

Verse 1

The sun is up, the sun it’s out.

The outside world beckons to us.

The rain it’s stopped, its pitter plop!

Now is the best time to ask!

 

Chorus

Please Daddy, .…

Take us for a ride, take us for a ride,

Take us for a little ride please!

Take us for a ride, take us for a ride,

Down the road we glide, across the country side, Just Daddy, the family and me!

 

Verse 2

No matter where we go, to the beach or snow,

We buckle up our seat belt tight.

Daddy turns the key, then he looks at me, …

We smile cause we’re feeling alright

Please Dad, ….

Chorus

Verse 3

Up hillside and down valley, open plains or wooded gully.

We watch the country side roll by.

And then we’re home again, inside our cozy den,

So until the next day, we hope the time will fly,… When Daddy will you,

Chorus
