Ticket to Ryde

[Verse 1]
The boat comes pulling in
A strip of lights heading down the pier
This ain't no city life
But this is where I've spent my years
We don't see busy streets
Or nightlife till ten past three
But this is what we know
And it's the place that we call home

[Verse 2]
The shore and the rocks is the best we've got
When summertime comes around
But the sun is going down
It's time to head to another town
Coming over the hill
On route 9, you can see it all
The bright town lights, the festival site
And everything that's going on

[Chorus]
This is what we've got, this is where we are from
A town by the sea, R-Y-D-E
This is what we've got, this is where we are from
A town by the sea, R-Y-D-E

[Verse 3]
Another smashed window
Another boarded-up door
This is just another hotel
That's not open anymore
The tourists are always here
Expecting all nice things
But really, this town by the sea
Hasn't changed since '63

[Chorus]
This is what we've got, this is where we are from
A town by the sea, R-Y-D-E
This is what we've got, this is where we are from
A town by the sea, R-Y-D-E

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
This is what we've got, this is where we are from
A town by the sea, R-Y-D-E
This is what we've got, this is where we are from
A town by the sea, R-Y-D-E

[Outro]
R-Y-D-E
R-Y-D-E
