A Ride Back Home - John Mellencamp

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home

I’ve been out here in this world too long on my own

I won’t bother you no more

If you can just get me in the door

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home

When I started out I was so young and so strong

I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong

Now it’s starting to get to me

All of this inhumanity

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home

You wouldn’t know it by looking at me now

But I was showing some promise once upon a time

But it’s gone now

And it ain’t coming back

My time’s come and gone

It’s as simple as that

Hey Jesus this world is just too troublesome for me

I try to fight off all these devils but I’m just too weak

When I’m out here walking all alone

I feel like taking my life but I won’t

Too big a coward, can you give me a ride back home

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home
