“Helluva Ride” is another fun one. Stealing a bit of influence from the golden age of the jazz / pop standard, it is a lighthearted “fare-thee-well” from the one moving on to the one being left behind.
Lyrics
Helluva Ride / Susan B. Shann / © 2017
Lately I feel like a part of me is missing
Feels like I’ve been kissin’ another man’s lips
I try and I pray, but I have to say that I can’t go on like this
Lately I feel like I’m livin’ with a stranger
Baby I’m in danger of losing my mind
When you hold me close, what I should feel the most
Is the one feeling I can’t find
I don’t know if it’s you or me who’s changed
I only know our little world is getting rearranged
Lately I’m thinkin’ it’s time for me to move on
Say, “I’ll be catchin’ you on the rebound, Honey!”
Don’t you cry, just smile and say “Bye bye!”
You know it’s been a helluva ride
I don’t know if it’s you or me who’s changed
I only know our little world is getting rearranged
Lately I’m thinkin’ it’s time for me to move on
Say, “I’ll be catchin’ you on the flipside, Baby!”
Don’t you cry, just smile and say “Bye bye!”
You know it’s been a swell time, now it’s fare-thee-well time
Boy it’s been a helluva ride
