I'm getting off work, I've said my goodbyes
I've packed up the car and they've turned out the lights
Folks have been drinking and they smile so wide
And all that I want is a friend by my side

Cause lately I'm taken along for the ride
When the glory band plays, I come alive for the night
At the top of the hill, I should take a deep breath
Cause with the rush of the fall it may be all I have left

Driving away, I see the folks from the show
Their gifts of kind words mean more than they know
They're leaving together, some hand in hand
And the quiet of the car, I can barely withstand

Cause lately I'm taken along for the ride
When the glory band plays, I come alive for the night
At the top of the hill, I should take a deep breath
Cause with the rush of the fall it may be all I have left

You used to break my fall
And hold me in my pretty dress and let me tell you about it all
While other hands clapped, all I needed were yours
But the feel of your touch I can't recall anymore

And I'll go on, I'll find my way
Through silent nights with you far away
And at the top of the hill, I should take a deep breath
Cause with the rush of the fall it may be all I have left
