REO Speedwagon

Songwriter: Mike Murphy

Producer: Bill Halverson

Give me a ride on your roller coaster
Give me a thrill, I can't help feelin' bored
Give me a dime to call my baby closer
'Cause I'm alone, I'm feelin' bored
I can't help thinking I'm ignored
I've been away far too long to recall
Just what it's like to be among my friends
Give me a pill to ease my nervous tension
'Cause I can't hardly see the end
I long to be among my friends

I've been on the road for too long, I don't know
I'm walking around and I don't know where to go
Well I'm half-crazed and I don't know who to be
Won't you please! Help me please!
Won't you please! I long to be at ease!

Give me a ride on your magic carpet
Take me away from this mediocrity
What must I do to get me feeling better
I guess it all boils down to me
Responsibility's on me
