Average song rating Listening to "Rough Ride" gives me a faint scent of Prince's style, which causes me to compare this song with McCartney's other "Prince-styled" song, "Dark Room" from McCartney II. "Rough Ride" is a far, far better song with marvelous production and tougher delivery. The recurring, echoey guitar riff serves as a punchy base to build this song upon. And Linda, whose contributions I always enjoy seeking out, is downright bodacious on this song. Bruce Beatlefan February 24, 2007

Lyrics

I Needed Loving, Needed A Friend
I Needed Something, That Would Be There In The End.
On A Rough Ride To Heaven
Want To Get Inside What Will I Do?
On A Rough Ride To Heaven,
I Want To Get Inside To Be With You.
I Knew You'd Help Me, I Knew You Could.
You Knew I Didn't Want To Be Misunderstood.
On A Rough Ride To Heaven
Want To Get Inside What Will I Do?
On A Rough Ride To Heaven,
I Want To Get Inside, To Be With You.
I'm Not Asking For An Easy Passage,
So I Hope You Understand,
I'm Not After Any Special Treatment,
But I Wouldn't Mind A Hand.
On A Rough Ride, On A Rough Ride,
On A Rough Ride, On A Rough Ride,
On A Rough Ride To Heaven,
Want To Get Inside What Will I Do?
