Lana Del Rey - Ride (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 (Don't break me down)
I've been traveling too long (I've been traveling too long)
I've been trying too hard (I've been trying too hard)
With one pretty song (With one pretty song)

I hear the birds on the summer breeze
I drive fast, I am alone at midnight
Been trying 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, I just ride

Dying young and 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
Light 'til dark

Don't leave me now (Don't leave me now)
Don't say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)
Don't turn around (Don't turn around)
Leave me high and dry (Leave me high and dry)

I hear the birds on the summer breeze
I drive fast, I am alone at midnight
Been trying 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
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
All I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride

Hear the birds on the summer breeze
I drive fast, I am alone at midnight
Been trying 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 believe in the person i want to become", what a powerful phrase.

    That Lanachella entrance was the most Lana thing I’ve ever seen . 🏍️ 🍒 😎🥺
  • @christie2484
    I’ve met Lana after one of her concerts. I cannot describe the energy this woman gives. Her voice is soothing, her words are like velvet. Her smile can light up a whole room. Lana is a singer, a powerful one. She is a poet. Her music is art. There is no one, and I mean no one like her. Not even close. This song, this prologue and epilogue. This is a masterpiece. I just wished people would truly appreciate the greatness that Lana is.

    discovering lana was a life-changing experience for all of us
  • @lenapetrova
    The monologue is a true masterpiece. The song doesn't make as much sense without it. "I was in a winter of my life and the men I met along the road were my only summer"...Beautiful.
  • @ambernelson455
    When she said, "There's no use talking to people who have a home. They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people". From past experience- I know exactly what she's talking about. 💔 😢
  • Only broken girls can understand the masterpiece of this song. The melancholy of her voice. The lyrics. The tone . Just perfection.

    this isn’t a music video, this is an experience
  • @nexmusic8984
    Lana makes me feel like everything's gonna be fine even when it's not
  • @-milo-2894
    the monologue gives so much context to the song, everytime i listen again it just makes more and more sense
  • My friend showed me Lana and I've never looked back since. This was her favorite song RIP Ellie

    11 Years later if you’re watching this, you’re a legend!❤
  • @ChanRawrer
    Lana is so fucking beautiful... but do you know what's more beautiful? her mind.
  • Lana Del Rey really wrote that, I can’t wait for the poetry books
  • @brivee832
    "it takes getting everything you've ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is."
