The ride is the same,
Same car, same road,
The feeling is the same,
Wants to stay,
Needs to leave,
It's his ritual,
Same route every time,
Same curves, same feeling,
The road is lonely,
It’s what he needs,
The only escape,
Not sure what he is escaping,
Enjoying the journey,
Not worried about the the destination,
It’s his ride home
