Darlin', don't you shed one tear for me
If I want to be the hero I was meant to be
And if I'm treadin' in deep water
Or gettin' blinded by the sun
Could be that I'm dancin'
To the rhythm of a different drum
I might stand out in the open 'neath the thunder and rain
Or buy a one way ticket on a runaway train
Try hangin' by my fingers off a mountain side
Take a wicked little tumble down a slip and slide
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight
It's gonna be a wild ride
tonight
verse
Darlin', it's fine if you pray for me
But I'll be seein' all the places
That I've wanted to see
I might be playin' all the numbers
And rollin' out the dice
Just might do a little two step
'Cross some pretty thin ice
'Cause I got my own demons and some fears to face
And it's time I got acquainted with my measure of faith
Admit to a few things I've always denied
Taste some dangerous dishes that I've never tried
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight
It's gonna be a wild ride
tonight
verse
Darlin', it's a wonder you can still love me
Even when I'm adding to your misery
But it's time for a good game
Like that Russian Roulette
A high wire act without a safety net
I might pick me a fight down there in Mexico
Put my foot in my mouth while diggin' my own hole
Order humble pie and then swallow my pride
Don't need to be afraid if the Lord's my guide
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight
It's gonna be a wild ride
tonight
