Edgar Winter - Free Ride Lyrics






The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused on which way to go
So I've come here to give you a hand
And lead you into the promised land, so

Come on and take a free ride (free ride)
Come on and stand here by my side
Come on and take a free ride

All over the country, I've seen it the same
Nobody's winning at this kind of game
We gotta do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers must come from within, so

Come on and take a free ride (free ride)
Come on and stand here by my side
Come on and take a free ride

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, free ride

Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Amen to that. and underrated as well.

  31. P.... P....

    Here because Dan Hartman is awesome. Remember he did this song and "I CAN DREAM ABOUT YOU"

  32. 1.... ....

    What a masterpiece by these guys - classic tune. Also a testament to the writer (Dan Hartman) whose demo was so good, this version is basically a carbon copy.

    With that being said I must bid farewell I am off to longhorns for the flows filet mignon medium with the crab cake mashed potatoes with that big well for butter a nice Caesar salad the crisp hot bread with butter and a sweet iced tea with extra lemon. If I have room I'll get that small key lime dessert that comes in the little jar. Bon appetit! Eat, smoke and be merry!!!!😆🥩

  36. C.... C....

    I am here because I heard it first! And have been rocking ever since!

    I think it was during the city council scene; they dance to “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” at The Warsaw. Still a classic episode, though!

  89. M.... S....

    I remember this song & I didn't even have it on my list. Got if from the TV show, "Maniac" ES 12 - 32:33 - LOVE IT!!!


    But I got turned off with him having to try & look like a woman.

    I'm really sick of all the gender issues. It's a sad state when people don't feel complete in their own bodies.


    I know why this epidemic is happening. They want men to be women & women to be men.


    I won't get into it now other than to say it's not normal & this has NOTHING to do with religion as I don't believe in gawd or religion.

  90. J.... W....

    I have this album.

  91. D.... T....

    Apparently we were crazy music- heads back in the day.....we used to do a pretty good job of performing this on our front lawn.. .to get out of yardwork, of course. Just remembering the good 'ol crazy fun times when I hear this.

    D.... T....

    Darla Tidwell  Im a Pisces I was born to like music. At age 10 got hooked on Partridge Family songs. Rolling Stones liked Buffalo, NY played here 8 times, Zeppelin 2 times, Aerosmith, Bob Seger, The Who, The Clash, Alice Cooper, Bad Company, Greatfull Dead, Allman Brothers & Lynyrd Skynyrd came to Buffalo. Country singers Alan Jackson & LeAnn Rimes. LeAnn got the crowd to Love her by saying HELLO BUFFALO. It sucks people don't like Buffalo because of all the snow we get. True 10 feet every winter from Lake Erie. Our winters are so bad The Coast Guard flys a Helicopter over the Lake everyday to keep people safe. Why of all Citys near 5 Great Lakes does Buffalo get the most snow. At least we got the Lake for summer fun even if its only 3 months. Always WHITE CHRISTMAS IN BUFFALO

    D.... T....

    jim ogrady This song was one of my favs, also The Stones It's only rockin roll, but I like it., BTO's Takin' care of business, .etc... Buffalo and Lake Erie is so bad on the weather, I know, and I've never been there. Ha... Me telling you? I did live in Evanston, Wy. a year or two and it was like 40 below. My car was buried every morning , a 64 oz. coffee & a pickaxe to leave the house for work. Sick. All the time. I can relate. Have a good one Jim. ✌

  92. I.... E....

    Who here because of the wii cars game. No, just me

    I.... E....

    I.... E....

    LDBrock 729 same here

  93. W.... M....

    Pool party in palm springs CA. Comming soon.

  94. M.... F....

    MLB11 de Show 😍👌

  95. A.... A....

    Is it just me, or is this song trying to convert me to some religion? I mean, the lyrics say you may be confused so you should take a free ride to the promised land. It totally sounds like a cult calling.

    Anyway, great song! Been listening it on loop the whole day!

    A.... A....

    Adriano Andrade It was the ‘70’s, so it was most likely drug related rather than cultish.

    A.... A....

    @Chris Stone Are you sure? Isn't Edgar Winter a scientologist? He had that scientology album and everything.

    A.... A....

    Adriano Andrade Not sure of ANYthing, really!!! I grew up in the 70’s, and that was NEVER discussed. Lots of songs in the 70’s were about having fun and being in love and not much else! Drugs, to be sure, but that was part of the “having fun”!!!

    A.... A....

    Pry not answers within is solid advice.

  96. A.... A....

    I'm here because GTA TLAD and TBOGT! I love this song! From Malaysia.

    A.... A....

    Hi dude, greatings from indon people of Indonesia here...
