Riding With Ray
“Upbeat, witty, comedic rock song with playful vocals, spoken asides, and a catchy singalong chorus. Light acoustic guitar, bass, and drums in the verses, transitioning to big, fun distorted electric guitar riffs in the chorus. Includes handclaps, quirky background harmonies, and humorous ad-libs. Energetic, story-driven, lighthearted yet heartfelt.”

Lyrics
Bought brand new in 1960
Been in the family ever since
Hasn't changed since Ray bought it
(spoken) "Well… aside from that dent from Uncle Jim’s fence."
🎸 Chorus:
One hundred thousand miles
The tank still brings lots of smiles
What else can I say
I’m riding with Ray-ay-ay (woo-hoo!)
Yeah, riding with Ray-ay-ay (keep on rolling!)
Used to go driven in the orchard
Going round from tree to tree
Helping Ray pick them apples
(spoken) "And maybe sneakin’ one for me."
🎸 Chorus:
Two hundred thousand miles
The tank still brings lots of smiles
What else can I say
I’m riding with Ray-ay-ay (shift it up!)
Yeah, riding with Ray-ay-ay (don’t stall now!)
Now it's living in the city
Made the adjustment just fine
It uses its wings for flying
(spoken) "Well… it’s really just the spoiler, but it feels divine."
🎸 Chorus:
Three hundred thousand miles
The tank still brings lots of smiles
What else can I say
I’m riding with Ray-ay-ay (air guitar solo!)
Yeah, riding with Ray-ay-ay (who needs brakes?)
As Ray looks down from Heaven
Watching over me and you
Laughing at us while we're driving
(spoken) "Pretty sure he’s causing the emissions test to skew."
🎸 Big Final Chorus:
Three hundred thousand miles
The tank still brings lots of smiles
What else can I say
I’m riding with Ray-ay-ay (flying high!)
Yeah, riding with Ray-ay-ay (never gonna stop!)
Forever riding with Ray-ay-ay (spoken) "And he’s still got the keys."
