Topic: Take the Slow Ride
I have seen and known a lot of people that work hard only to spend their hard earned money on nothing but the best for themselves or their kids and ending up broke,divorced or both. This is a fictitious song about a couple in Arizona(Why Arizona I don't know...it just seemed to fit 
) dealing with this issue. I don't know how to describe how it plays.
Enjoy

Take the Slow Rideby Ken Peters Feb 2009
[A][F#m] [A] [F#m]
[A]Kate and Rickie live in Arizona,
Always [F#m]working hard ain't got no time for play.
When [A]Katie flapped her wings just like a puppet on a string,
Poor Rickie [F#m]jumped so high he'd hear the angels sing. [E]
[D]Flopping to the left ,Rickie's [E]flopping to the right,
Poor Rickie's [D]dropping cause he just can't take no [E]more.
[D]Honey he would sing I'm not a [E]puppet on a string,
If we don't [D]talk it out I'm walking out that [E]door.
[E]You've got to learn to take the [A]slow ride.[C] [D]
Take a [D]sweet ride. [C] [A]
Oh baby baby take the [A]slow ride. [C] [D]
Lets take our [D]sweet time. [C] [A]
[A] [F#m] [A] [F#m]
[A]No doubt about it Katie liked the good things,
No [F#m]way around it Katie liked her toys,
She [A]dreamed of working hard to get her bling-bling,
While [F#m]all the other girls dreamed of the boys. [E]
Now [D]Ricky as a man couldn't [E]really understand,
The [D]logic of the work without the [E]play.
So [D]Ricky made a dare hoping [E]Katie could compare,
cause [D]Ricky couldn't take another [E]day
[E]He said you've got to take the [A]slow ride. [C] [D]
Take a [D]sweet ride. [C] [A]
Oh baby baby take the [A]slow ride. [C] [D]
Lets take our [D]sweet time. [C] [A]
[A] [F#m] [A] [F#m]
Instrumental guitar and base line for 3rd verse
Now [A]Kate and Rick still live in Arizona,
Their still [F#m]working hard but found the time to play.
Now [A]she understands there's more to living,
and [F#m]giving seems to be a better way. [E]
[D]All the fancy bling really [E]doesn't mean a thing.
[D]Now she knows it's really all for [E]show.
[D]Katie now can sing that she [E]knows what life can bring,
Now [D]Rickie won't be walking out that [E]door.
She had to learn to take the [A]slow ride. [C] [D]
Take the [D]sweet ride. [C] [A]
She had to learn to take the [A]slow ride. [C] [D]
Take her [D]sweet time. [C] [A]
She finally learned to take the [A]slow ride. [C] [D]
Take her [D]sweet time. [C] [A]
She finally learned to take the [A]slow ride. [C] [D]
Her [D]sweet time. [C] [A]
[A] [F#m] [A] [F#m]
