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

    That Lanachella entrance was the most Lana thing I’ve ever seen . 🏍️ 🍒 😎🥺

    "I believe in the person i want to become", what a powerful phrase.
  • @j.d1880
    Lana belongs in an art museum
  • @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. 💔 😢

    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.

    11 Years later if you’re watching this, you’re a legend!❤
  • Only broken girls can understand the masterpiece of this song. The melancholy of her voice. The lyrics. The tone . Just perfection.

    I think the reason Lana is so loved is because she represents this freedom that we all want but yet this vulnerability of wanting to be loved and making mistakes . I love her because she says everything in one song that I've wanted to say my entire life. This is the song this is the piece of her soul that I fell in love with. A lot of today's music doesn't get a raw as this Edit : (Thank you all so much for the likes, i checked this a year later and it’s in the thousands and I feel so overwhelmed! it feels so great knowing I’m not the only one who’s deeply touched and In love with her music. You all make me feel less alone💕)
  • @-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
  • @maxxie789
    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
  • 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
