The Okee Dokee Brothers - Along For the Ride lyrics

Peter Pan could never understand Why Wendy Darling wanted more than Neverland A lost boy always makes it on his own So he never grew up and he ended up alone But I would rather have you sittin' here next to me Telling bedtime stories and singing harmony Because that river is deep and that river is wide And I'm a gonna need you child to be my guide And if we're gonna make it – to the other side It's gonna take more than just coming along for ride When Odysseus sailed to sea He left behind Penelope She waited years, patiently For him to come back from his Odyssey But I would rather have you sittin' here next to me Lookin' at the map and tellin' us where we oughta' to be Tom Sawyer loved Becky Thatcher And he spent his days tryin' catch her But When Huck Finn came on the scene Tom left Becky waiting up stream But I would rather have you sittin' here next to me Makin' hollyhock dolls under a cherry tree
