Why You Ride Me So Rough

(Verse 1)
Dust on the dashboard, coffee in the tray
I’m pushing three hundred thousand miles today
You don’t take curves soft, you don’t hit the brakes
You’re a hundred-weight on my worst mistakes
suspension is screaming, the alignment is gone
But you keep the high beams and the radio on.
(Chorus)
Yeah, you ride me so rough, like a gravel road
Like a flatbed hauling an over-sized load
You red-line the engine just to hear it whine
Then leave me idling, pouring rain in site
I’m rusted and rattled and I’ve had enough
Girl, why do you gotta ride me so rough?
(Verse 2)
You treat my heart like a hand-me-down Ford
Floorboard’s shaking while we’re crossing the floor
One day you’re the grease making everything glide
The next you’re the gravel on a downhill slide
You shift without the clutch, don’t check the oil
You let my poor radiator sit there and boil.

(Chorus)
Yeah, you ride me so rough, like a gravel road
Like a flatbed hauling an over-sized load
You red-line the engine just to hear it whine
Then leave me idling, pouring rain in site
I’m rusted and rattled and I’ve had enough
Girl, why do you gotta ride me so rough?

(Bridge)
There’s a "Sale" sign sittin in the back seat
But I know you’ll never admit defeat
You’ll just kick the tires and jump back in
And we’ll start this mess all over again.

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)
Yeah, you ride me so rough, like a gravel road
Like a flatbed hauling an over-sized load
You red-line the engine just to hear it whine
Then leave me idling, pouring rain in site
I’m rusted and rattled and I’ve had enough
Girl, why do you gotta ride me so rough?

(Outro)
Yeah, take it easy on the gears tonight.
Just park me in the drive...
Stop riding me so rough
