Taken for a Ride - The Quireboys

My heart was racing like a hurricane

On a flight from Heathrow back to JFK

Last thing I remember, I was on the floor

In my white cadillac

With no clue where I was

Let me stay here for a while

Rest my head just for a time

Take me for a ride I wanna leave today

Take me to a place that’s far away

Take me for a ride I wanna leave today

Anywhere but here I wanna stay

Woke up on the Lower Eastside

With a gun to my head

I said go ahead and shoot me

Cos I might as well be dead

Boy the look in her eyes

I never seen before

Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry

I said, I said hey go hustle

Your way back home baby, listen

She just looked at me and smiled

Your money saved your life

Take me for a ride I wanna leave today

Take me to a place that’s far away

Take me for a ride I wanna leave today

Anywhere but here I wanna stay, oh

Take me for a ride I wanna leave today

Take me to a place that’s far away

Take me for a ride I wanna leave today

Anywhere but here I wanna stay

(take me home) Take me for a ride I wanna leave today

(take me home) Take me to a place that’s far away

(take me home) Take me for a ride I wanna leave today

(take me home) Anywhere but here I wanna stay

(take me home) Anywhere but here I wanna stay
