The Long Ride

I started out living for Jesus
Many years ago
He gave me His love
And I gave Him my heart and my soul
Some folks said that I'd never make it
But I guess that they must've been wrong
'Cause He's still got control of my life
And I'm still going strong

Don't wanna be a sudden sensation
(Don't wanna be)
Don't wanna be a one night stand
(Not gonna be)
You know I'm gonna live forever
You might say I'm a long-term man
'Cause I made a commitment
I'm standing on the Lord's side
And I'm not turning back
'Cause I'm in it for the long ride

I can't say it's always been easy
But that's okay (uh-huh)
Well discipleship costs
And I've always been willing to pay
Sometimes it's been a bit of a burden
But He has helped me to carry the load
And we're still traveling side by side
Down that narrow road

Don't wanna be a sudden sensation
(Don't wanna be)
Don't wanna be a one night stand
(Not gonna be)
You know I'm gonna live forever
You might say I'm a long-term man
'Cause I made a commitment
I'm standing on the Lord's side
And I'm not turning back
'Cause I'm in it for the long ride

I've put a lot of miles behind
But there are still some more to come
And when I reach the end
The Lord will still be number one

Don't wanna be a sudden sensation
(Don't wanna be)
Don't wanna be a one night stand
(Not gonna be)
You know I'm gonna live forever
You might say I'm a long-term man
'Cause I made a commitment
I'm standing on the Lord's side
And I'm not turning back
'Cause I'm in it for the long ride
And I'm not turning back
'Cause I'm in it for the long ride

In it for the long ride
In it for the long ride...
