Hell of a Ride

(Verse 1)

Here lately I been taking my time

Sit back, gotta rewind, yeah

Looking for a new design

Simple thoughts running through my mind, yeah

Sitting here next to you

Got me feeling something new, yeah

I wasn’t really tryna be rude

Cutting in with your girlfriends too

But I had to break through

See if I could get your number, yeah

You didn’t wanna hear that

Shoved me back, told me step back

I ain’t sweating it, that’s how it goes

Nice guys always lose… or so I’m told

(Pre-Hook)

I ain’t the guy with the VIP line

Just a little awkward but I’m doing fine

If you blink you might miss my move

But I promise I got something to prove

Nah, I don’t need the neon lights

Just one shot tonight…

(Hook)

I’m a loner, a stoner, a drinker, a fool — oh well

But ask me and I’ll tell ya I’m a lover through and through, yeah

Girl you’re missing the thrill of a life

Come back, get at me, I’m one hell of a rideee

Yeah…

One hell of a ride, yeah

Hell of a ride

(Verse 2)

Next day posted in a brand-new spot

Just chilling when fate pulled up

There you were with your Starbucks cup

Hands too full so I helped you up

Wasn’t tryna go all out

Didn’t need to flex or shout

Just a little smile, little “you good?”

You laughed like maybe misunderstood

This time you weren’t pulling away

Talking like you might just stay

Said, “I judged you a little too fast…”

Guess first impressions never really last

(Pre-Hook)

I ain’t the guy with the VIP line

Just a little awkward but I’m doing fine

If you blink you might miss my move

But I promise I got something to prove

Nah, I don’t need the neon lights

Just one shot tonight…

(Hook)

I’m a loner, a stoner, a drinker, a fool — oh well

But ask me and I’ll tell ya I’m a lover through and through, yeah

Girl you’re missing the thrill of a life

Come back, get at me, I’m one hell of a rideee

Yeah…

One hell of a ride, yeah

Hell of a ride

(Bridge)

Everybody wants the loud guy first

Till the loud guy leaves and the silence hurts

I’m the one still hanging ’round

Laughing while the world spins down

No cape, no crown, no spotlight glow

Just a steady hand when life gets low

(Final Verse)

Now we’re riding with the windows down

You stealing fries while we cruise this town

Said, “Didn’t know you were like this…”

I just laughed, said, “Yeah — you almost missed it.”

Ain’t about winning some big game

Just two people feeling the same

Maybe nice guys don’t lose after all

Sometimes they just wait for the call

(Final Hook)

I’m a loner, a stoner, a drinker, a fool — that’s true

But lucky for me now I got you

Girl you found the thrill of a life

Hold tight, baby, it’s one hell of a rideee

Yeah…

One hell of a ride

Hell of a ride
