Lyrics

Pick me up, take me out, getting late, let’s escape
Go to the club, it’s heating up, it’s heating up, it’s heating up
Move my waist, gimme some space, heating up, it’s heating up
Time to shake, time to stomp, make your body lean and rock
Line up the boys and the girls, you may be the best in the world
Come closer, dance with me, touch my body getting naughty
No time to waste, gimme that groove, back to my place, yeah I’m smooth
Rock don’t stop, pop and lock, dance all night, dance non-stop
Neo-pop!

Life is a ride, I want you to ride with me
Maybe get high, but I’m more about the dancing

People at the door, line around the corner, but you’re with me, so V-I-P
Security has nothing on me, skip the front, drink up baby
Have a drink, sip again, no hating, just dancing
Welcome to Heat, the place to be, more boys to meet, candy sweet
Hey there boy, what’s your name? Dance with me? Step up your game
Rock don’t stop, pop and lock, dance all night, dance nonstop
Booty drop, pop and lock, dance all night, dance nonstop

Life is a ride, I want you to ride with me
Maybe get high, but I’m more about the dancing
Life is a ride, I want you to ride with me
Baby we’ll fly, but right now we’re only dancing, just dancing

Breakdown, dance in a circle now

2am, still drinking, still dancing, man glancing
Steal a kiss, don’t miss, I’m a little tips, aim for my lips
Swagger swaying, people playing, this beat, I am slaying
Boys and preying, girls are straying, lights are shining, perfect timing
Perfect time to get out of here, still dark, limo is here
Quick, let me drink one more beer, now it’s time to (ah) disappear
Dance my ass all the way to the door, tomorrow we’re coming back for some more
Rock don’t stop, pop and lock, dance all night, dance nonstop

Life is a ride, I want you to ride with me
Baby we’ll fly, but right now we’re only dancing, just dancing
Life is a ride, I want you to ride with me
Maybe get high, but I’m more about the dancing
Life is a ride, I want you to ride with me
Maybe we’ll fly, but right now we’re only dancing, just dancing

About This Song

A play-by-play narration of a night out at the club in where the narrator is using their connections and flexes to get someone to dance with and go home with them.

What is the song “Life is a Ride” by Chad Lewine about?

This was the song that started it all. It was the crown jewel of my "The Human Link" era and it propelled me from Pittsburgh, to New Hope to New York City. Creating this in the studio was a dream come true, a real milestone experience that shaped the first half of my "career" in music.
