paroles de chanson I Need A Ride Home (Commentary) - Carly Pearce

This next song is one that I just love
It's one that you didn't write, but I know that it spoke to your heart
In a special way when you heard it, it's called "I Need A Ride Home"

This might be my favorite song
I am so proud of where I come from in Kentucky
And the album is dedicated to my grandparents
They gave me the Pearce name
The feather that you see in my logo and on my arm is for my grandfather

And this song, I
Again my publisher Daniel played me this song a couple years ago
And the play on the words
You think it's gonna be this drunken (right) 'I need a ride home
'Cause I'd had to much to drink' (I need an Uber to get home safely)

Yeah exactly, and when I heard it I was so freaked out
Because in the second verse it talks about
I wanna go back to the table in the kitchen
And see the creak and the fields full of nothing
And what I did and if you ask anybody how knew my grandfather
They would tell you
You always saw him sitting at the kitchen table
And right out his window was a creak and a field

I mean, and I'm talking (wow)
I, just the image is right there
If you ever been back to my hometown (ain't that crazy?)
Yeah, and so I'm going through this thing
You know my grandparents are no longer here
And I am getting older and just appreciating where I come from
So much more than I did when I begged my parents to let me leave at 16

And I had the opportunity to tell Hillary Lindsey that I was cutting it
And I said I really felt like you wrote this song about me, about my life
And you didn't even know it
And she just, she cried and said to this day
That was one of her favorite songs she's ever written
So I just, ugh, that song gets me every time
