Lyrics: John Mellencamp. Life, Death, Love and Freedo. A Ride Back Home.

Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?
I?ve been out here in this world too long on my own
I won?t bother You no more if You can just get me in the door
Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?

When I started out I was so young and so strong
I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong
Now it?s starting to get to me, all of this inhumanity
Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?

You wouldn?t know it by looking at me now
But I was showing some promise once upon a time
But it?s gone now and it ain?t coming back
My time?s come and gone, it?s as simple as that

Hey Jesus, this world is too troublesome for me
I try to fight off all these devils but I?m just too weak
When I?m out here walking alone I feel like taking my life but I won?t
Too big a coward, can You give me a ride back home?
Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?
Hey Jesus, can You give me a ride back home?
