Lyrics:

I'm takin' a ride with my best friend.
I hope he never lets me down again.
He knows where he's takin' me,
Takin' me where I wanna be.
I'm takin' a ride with my best friend.

We're flyin' high
Watchin' the road pass us by.
Never want to come down,
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground.

I'm takin' a ride with my best friend.
I hope he never lets me down again.
Promise me I'm safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearin' the trousers.
I hope he never lets me down again.

Chorus

See the stars they're shinin' bright
Everything's all right tonight.
See the stars they're shinin' bright
Everything's all right tonight.
