[Verse 1]
I needed loving, I needed a friend
I needed something that would be there in the end

[Chorus]
Of the rough ride to Heaven
Want to get inside; what will I do?
Oh, on a rough ride to Heaven
I want to get inside to be with you

[Verse 2]
I knew you'd help me, I knew you could
You knew I didn't want to be misunderstood

[Chorus]
Of the rough ride to Heaven
Want to get inside; what will I do?
Oh, on a rough ride to Heaven
I want to get inside to be with you

[Verse 3]
I'm not asking for an easy passage, so I hope you understand
I'm not after any special treatment, but I wouldn't mind a hand

[Outro]
On a rough ride, on a rough ride
On a rough ride, on a rough ride
On a rough ride To Heaven
Want to get inside; what will I do?

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
