in's getting married
at the Methodist church
That's why I stayed home from work
I'm supposed to hold the flowers
When the new bride kisses the groom
That's what I'm supposed to do
So what are we doin' with the
windows rolled down,
25 passin' and miles from town?
Oh, I love her like a sister, baby,
but to tell you the truth,
I'd rather ride around with you
The guy she's gonna marry's
got the money to burn
His daddy's a partner
in some big law firm
Yeah, that's how they're going to Hawaii
on their honeymoon
First class to Honolulu
She's never even set foot on a jet
I'm a little bit jealous, I confess
I'd like to fly to Hawaii,
but honey, if I had to choose
Oh, I'd rather ride around with you
I don't care where this road goes
No, I don't want to turn around
Let go of the wheel,
feel the wind blow
Don't even think about slowing down
They're tying tin cans to
the back of the car
Wondering where in the world we are
And the preacher's done prayin'
And the couple's done sayin' I do
Back to be me and you
There's way too many decisions to make
The length of the tress
The layers on the cake
Oh, one of these days
I might get married too
But I'd rather ride around with you
I don't care
Where this road goes
No I don't want to turn around
Let go of the wheel
Feel the wind blow
Don't even think about slowing down
Cause I'd rather ride
around with you
Oh, I'd rather ride around
with you
