Slaves - Down For The Ride Lyrics






I had a song in my head when I met you
But I could never find the way that it worked
When you spoke, it came clear, it was easy to hear
But I didn't need half of those words
Been so long since I sat down and listened
To myself or anyone else
I've been playing along even when it felt wrong
So I hung it back up on the shelf

Taking over feeling at home with you
Moving forward, learn to let go
It's that look in your eyes that says
Baby, I'm down for the ride
Baby, I'm down for the ride (For the ride)
Baby, I'm down (For the ride)
Baby, I'm down (For the ride)
Baby, I'm down (For the ride)
Baby, I'm down

I never thought I could get any better
And my past only made me feel worse
I remember you said it was all in my head
And I need to forgive myself first
Now I know that I'm not without purpose
And you know that I'm not too far gone
But I hate that try to make up wasted time
And I let it all go on too long

Taking over feeling at home with you
Moving forward, learn to let go
It's that look in your eyes that says
Baby, I'm down for the ride
Baby, I'm down for the ride (For the ride)
Baby, I'm down (For the ride)
Baby, I'm down (For the ride)
Baby, I'm down (For the ride)
Baby, I'm down

Somebody pray for me
I couldn't take it if you were to leave
Somebody pray for me
I couldn't take it if you were to leave
Somebody pray for me
I couldn't take it if you were to leave
Somebody pray for me
I couldn't take it if you were to leave

Taking over feeling at home
Moving forward, learn to let go
It's that look in your eye that says
Baby, I'm down for the ride
Down for the ride (For the ride)
Down for the ride (For the ride)
Baby, I'm down for the ride

Somebody pray for me
I couldn't take it if you were to leave
Somebody pray for me
I couldn't take it if you were to leave

    I heard you sing this song right before you relapsed. I couldn’t believe the news when I heard it, but I could at the same time. You’re my favorite singer man.. and I hope you get through it, and get back in a band. I’ve gone through the same thing and I’m 2 1/2 years clean now, fighting to get my child back from an evil bitch. Listening to your music makes things better for me, and I hope things get better for you. Peace man.

    ผมไม่รู้ว่าเกิดอะไรขึ้นกับจอนนี่ ผมอ่านภาษาอังกฤษไม่ออก ผมชอบเพลงของพวกเขามาก ผมชอบเสียงของจอนนี่ ที่พวกเขาเปลี่ยนนักร้อง ผมเสียใจแต่ก็เข้าใจไม่ว่ายังงัยพวกเขาตัดสินใจแล้ว คงทำได้แค่เปิดเพลงเก่าๆของพวกเขาเพื่อฟังเสียงของจอนนี่เท่านั้น สู้ ๆครับ Keep going on. Fan from thailand

    That moment when you finally undestand the power and meaning of this song.... The saddest part, is that your saw that "it's that look in your eyes that says "baby i'm down for the ride"", it's what u feeling right now. You love, but you already too "down for the ride".

  57. R.... M....

    Anyone know the chords for this?? I cant find em anywhere. Thanks!

  58. R.... B....

    By far one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Damn.

  59. C.... G....

    I really dig this song 👌 I just love his soulful voice 💕

  60. Y.... ....

    Jonny will overcome his addiction. He needs to his rock bottom first and this is what the band is trying to do. Jonny needs to rebuild himself once he gets through this rough time. Addiction is hard and I'm sorry it's something people need to desire themselves to overcome. They need it for themselves not for someone else. If he wants to get better it needs to be for himself or he will go back later. I'm praying he finds the strength and drive to overcome and join back with band.

  61. A.... R....

    I'm crying thanks

  62. R.... B....

    Getting married in 3 months and my fiance found this beautiful song and he pictured me walking down the aisle and said this is the perfect song and i agree 💗💗💗

    R.... B....

    Rachel Bellerose I hope your marriage is going well so far :)))

  63. M.... L....

    Your voice is a lullaby, Jonny. If by some chance you see this, please get better soon. We believe in you

  64. S.... G....

    Beautiful 😭❤️

  65. t.... b....

    I wish addiction never existed. I hope he and Taylor are both strong enough to beat this together .

  66. S.... ....

    That power in his voice from 3:55 on is absolutely mind blowing...

    S.... ....

    The power in his voice always. At any given moment.

    S.... ....

    Best I've ever heard from him fr

  67. A.... T....

    What are the chords or tabs to this song? Really amazing song!

  68. T.... S....

    beautiful <3

  69. J.... S....

    Fuck man... Speedy recovery Jonny

  70. J.... W....

    Jonny MF Craig Y'all

  71. A.... �....

    how come this hasn't got an official music video yet? amazing song.

  72. R.... H....

    I supported him until I read where he’s just a straight shitty person that treats women like trash. He’s been kicked off tours for sexually assaulting women.
    His ex was talking about how he had held her down and ‘pretended’ to shot her up while she cried and he laughed about it. Were also allegations that he solicited nude photos from a 16 y/o


    Idk... just can’t support a disgusting mother fucker like Johnny Craig... and his talent is just... wasted...

  73. T.... T....

    I wanted to hear Jonny sing this live :(

  74. J.... L....

    Everybody that judges Jonny needs to take a step back and look at themselves first. We all mess up from time to time. Who are we to judge him? People will say he's an amazing and songwriter but then the second someone mentions drug use, they shoot him down and all the negativy starts. 😕

    J.... L....

    Jon Little The only thing is its not really the drugs, it was hes done while on drugs and its not just one or two times, hes been doing fucked up shit throughout most of his career. It’s unfortunate though because hes an amazing musician and a phenomenal writer that has impacted so many people, including me. So I really hope one day he gets his shit together for good

  75. N.... S....

    Maybe now that he's out he'll realize his ass should quit touring. Dude always "gets better" just to relapse and go around treating people like garbage.

  76. P.... ....

    This song is so fucking sweet wtf

  77. j.... s....

    im sad when i was lesten the song and thank you to having me a wonderfull and nice song and voice mr jonny craig and the band of slaves

  78. a.... 2....

    Such a beautiful song .. absloutely gutted about Jonny

  79. A.... X....

    You'll be missed Jonny, I wish good artists like you would just not be tempted by all the drugs/ alcohol and so on and just focus on improving and coming out in the world on top of everything rather than the bottom. This is a voice that could reach so high and could accomplish so much if only the addictions could be cured overnight ... Wishing Jonny a speedy recovery and a strong will to get better and reach the top.

  80. D.... D....

    Anyone else having trouble NOT crying to this?

    D.... D....

    cried the first time I listened to it 😢❤️

  81. T.... W....

    Crying like a big old baby lol absolutely love it!! We love you Jonny! ❤️🌹

  82. S.... ....

    Jonny Craig x Bradley Walden would be a fckng blessing

  83. L.... ....

    Wishing Jonny a quick recovery! Much love for everything you've done for the fans even putting your music before your sobriety to please everyone else. I hope for your sake you take all the time you need to come back a better healthier you! Thank you for everything and I'm sure we will see you back in your feet and making beautiful music again!

  84. J.... C....

    Thought this song was to Taylor. Turns out it’s to heroin.

    J.... C....

    Joe Chamberlain hahahaaa the hard truth

  85. D.... S....

    Hope he recovers quickly so he can get back behind the mic where he belongs!

  86. D.... ....

    GET OUT OF MY HEAD ❤️

  87. f.... f....

    I'm so sad, that Jonny had choose his addiction over the band, its really sad how lost is he, i hope he gets the help that he needs and for the band i wish the best, i know they will be alright

    f.... f....

    If you read his statement he never chose his addiction over the band he chose to take a long recovery process bc every time he's gotten sober he was back in the studio and in tour and never took the time too actually work on himself. By the way he treated you like family! I've hung out with him dozens off times sober and not sober and when your dealing with addiction which never just goes away you have to work hard everyday to stay sober. I've been sober 6 years and still think about getting high that's what sucks about this disease. Him taking thus step back to actually work on himself ids the best thing he's done for himself.

    f.... f....

    Well I met Jonny when slaves came to nz he came outside and chilled with me and a few others without VIPs which was a bonus I offered to shout him all night he refused and pointed to his badge and said hes striving to be sober drugs and alcohol

    f.... f....

    @Josh Bennett the only reason why i said "he choose his addiction" is because of the statement the band post it on Instagram, I'm glad you meet him, I wish we could all meet the people we admire and respect, I'm sure he is a cool guy and has a beautiful soul, i'm glad he was working and still working to get sober, Is not easy to have addictions, you hurt yourself and everyone else that is around you, even do you don't mean it. I'm sure he is dealing with a lot of things right now, dealing with your problems and daemons is never easy, the only thing i wish for him and the band is the best, I hope he gets better for his own health
    peace and love of course.

    f.... f....

    He was amazing like the people I've met (band wise) they were all Stuck up Jonny didnt talk about himself he wanted to know about everyone else never said anything about himself or fame he just listened to us he was so sincere.... reason why I say hes trying to change...

  88. S.... M....

    This song makes me emotional for some reason. I don’t really know why but either way I love this song. Johnny never fails with his voice

  89. A.... M....

    eeeeeeeeeeeeeee jonny, band will not be the same without you man

  90. T.... S....

    Jonny relapsing really hit home for me, i will always support him, like i have been since the beginning. i hope you get better and get the help you deserve. we love you Jonny Craig

    T.... S....

    @Mmmm good lolllll

    T.... S....

    he relapse cux his ex girlfriend had a heavy meth habit then him like his ex kept using and even injected all her vines and jonny Craig eventually walked away from her cux she got worser then jonny she even begin to inject left over cotton in her vines she was cause of him relapsing cux all she did was wake up inject then go to bed no bath no nothing sure jonny did meth to but she was worser then him

    T.... S....

    @question mark??? yes thats it. I follow both so i Listened to taylors story, she was in a miserable condition and left him while she was in rehab. I loved them as a couple But Jonny seem to be Happy with his new girlfriend. Although she does looks like taylor somehow. Jonny we support you through all! I hope Jonny gets and stays sober.

    T.... S....

    @Caro Nilorac that's cuz his new girlfriend ain't a addict

  91. b.... s....

    So bummed Jonny fucked up once again

  92. P.... ....

    Too bad he fucked over his band mates yet again and is out of the band 😭😭

  93. R.... P....

    We will miss you Jonny

    R.... P....

    Are they still doing their Australian tour?

    R.... P....

    You guys act like he died, do you know how many times this has happened in the last 10 years or so. He always comes back, usually better than before.

    R.... P....

    @Jon Little prolly just me but the best song song i've heard with him in a while lol... wish he would get past all the bad shit. I would say he's wasted talent, but you're right, he always finds a place.

    R.... P....

    @Jonathan Tabora yes. This song is so fucking good. Jonny absolutely killed it

    R.... P....

    You guys laughing at his relapse and your take on him "being kicked out of the band" is some of the most heartless garbage I've ever seen on here, and that's saying so much. Be well, Jonny.

  94. C.... T....

    No one remembers HOTRON?
