Nothing But A Good Ride - Lyle Lovett

He’s pulling out for Reno

He hopes a tire don’t blow

Up near Albuquerque

He’ll fuel and get some coffee

Cline’s Corners truck stop

A waitress with a wet mop

Telling him to don’t walk

He tips his hat and don’t talk

He knows it’s nothing but a good ride

No there’s nothing there he can’t slide

No there’s nothing that he won’t spin

No there’s nothing to it do it again

No it’s nothing but the big show

No there’s nowhere that he won’t go

No he never has to ask why

He knows it’s nothing but a good ride

He says there’s something about a sunrise

Waking up sleepy eyed

He says there’s something about a highway

Telling him he can’t stay

He says there’s something about a long drive

That gives him some peace of mind

And there’s something that he can’t take

When he’s coming in second place

He knows it’s nothing but a good ride

No there’s nothing there he can’t slide

No there’s nothing that he won’t spin

No there’s nothing to it do it again

No it’s nothing but the big show

No there’s nowhere that he won’t go

No he never has to ask why

He knows it’s nothing but a good ride

And when it’s all over

He’ll move a little slower

He’ll back up to the trailer

And look toward Oklahoma

He’ll pull out right through the middle of town

And watch the sun start sinking down

Still just lighting up the road signs

Getting ready for the next time.

He knows it’s nothing but a good ride

No there’s nothing there he can’t slide

No there’s nothing that he won’t spin

No there’s nothing to it do it again

No it’s nothing but the big show

No there’s nowhere that he won’t go

No he never has to ask why

He knows it’s nothing but a good ride
