About the Song
Ride Like You Mean It is a no-apologies, leave-the-past-behind kind of song. It's a country rock middle finger to fear and second-guessing. Tailor-made for road trips, barroom playlists, and the kind of nights that start with trouble and end with freedom.
Lyrics Sheet Ride Like You Mean It
[Intro]
(Fast electric guitar riff)
(Drums kick in with galloping beat)
(Bass thump rolling under)
[Verse 1 – Male]
Burned too many bridges just to warm my hands,
Took too many detours I don’t understand.
But I ain’t the man who folds when it’s tough,
I ride through the storms, ‘cause I’m made of grit and rough.
I’ve got these dreams, they’re larger than life,
With a heart full of fire and an unstoppable drive.
[Chorus]
So ride like you mean it, hold on real tight,
Feel the wheels turning, in the heat of the night.
With the stars above us, we’re writing our song,
We’ll chase down the sunset ‘til the break of dawn.
Yeah, ride like you mean it, let your spirit fly,
With a country heart, underneath the wide-open sky.
[Verse 2 – Female (Carly Pearce style)]
I’ve wandered these roads, my soul in the breeze,
Kicked up the dust, moving freely with ease.
Sometimes I stumble, but I find my way back,
With you by my side, I’m on the right track.
Your laughter, your smile, ignite my desire,
In this whirlwind of life, it’s your love I aspire.
[Chorus]
So ride like you mean it, hold on real tight,
Feel the wheels turning, in the heat of the night.
With the stars above us, we’re writing our song,
We’ll chase down the sunset ‘til the break of dawn.
Yeah, ride like you mean it, let your spirit fly,
With a country heart, underneath the wide-open sky.
[Bridge]
Punchy drums and bass, slide guitar leads,
We’re carving our journey, planting the seeds.
Life’s like a rodeo, we’re holding on fast,
No time for regrets; we’re going to make this last.
Together we’re stronger, through the highs and the lows,
With every mile traveled, our love just grows.
[Chorus]
So ride like you mean it, hold on real tight,
Feel the wheels turning, in the heat of the night.
With the stars above us, we’re writing our song,
We’ll chase down the sunset ‘til the break of dawn.
Yeah, ride like you mean it, let your spirit fly,
With a country heart, underneath the wide-open sky.
[Outro]
(Final electric guitar riff)
(Drums fade out with a final thump)
Ride like you mean it, we’ll never back down,
With love in our hearts, we’re the talk of the town.
