“Good Thing at Home”

You pulled up in your Cadillac with honey on your tongue
Promised me the ocean and the moon and stars and sun
Said baby won't you come with me, I'll show you something new
Never thought the destination, darling, would be you

I should've seen the warning signs
Written in your smile
But I was too caught up to know
I was getting played all the while

Taken for a ride, taken for a ride
Down the Pacific Coast with nothing but your lies
Taken for a ride, oh what a sweet disguise
You had me in the passenger seat
While you were steering me to goodbye
Taken for a ride

You knew just what to whisper when the radio played low
Leather seats and sunset streets and nowhere left to go
I was dizzy on your promises, drunk on your cologne
Didn't realize I was traveling this highway all alone

I should've read between the lines
Every word you said
But I was too in love to see
I was just a stop ahead

Taken for a ride, taken for a ride
Down the Pacific Coast with nothing but your lies
Taken for a ride, oh what a sweet disguise
You had me in the passenger seat
While you were steering me to goodbye
Taken for a ride

(Ooh, you took me for a fool)
(Ooh, played me like you do)
Wind in my hair, didn't have a care
Thought we were going somewhere
But you were just burning gasoline
Using me for the scenery
Baby, I was just your Sunday drive
Your detour, your way to kill the time

Now I'm standing on the shoulder with my thumb up in the air
You left me by the roadside like you were never there
But I learned something on that journey, even though it hurt
Sometimes the prettiest roads, baby, lead you to the dirt

Taken for a ride, taken for a ride
Down the Pacific Coast with nothing but your lies
Taken for a ride, oh what a sweet disguise
You had me in the passenger seat
While you were steering me to goodbye

Taken for a ride, taken for a ride
But now I'm driving solo and I'm finally alive
Taken for a ride, but I survived
Baby, you can keep that highway
I've got my own way to fly
You took me for a ride

(Taken for a ride)
(But now I'm driving)
(Taken for a ride)
(Oh, I'm finally free)

Nancy Chisholm - Taken For A Ride

“Devil’s Tango” is a dark, playful blues-rock showdown between a man and his shadows. With sliding guitars, haunting harmonica and a rhythm that stalks rather than chases, Anders J Holm dances right on the edge — without giving in.

This isn’t about heaven.
It isn’t about hell.
It’s about choosing your own lane in the middle of the mess.
