About "Lonely ride"

This is about my ride home from the last time I spent time with Pat Whitehead, Stuart Lowe died that Yuletide also. I wanted the music to be uptempo so as not to end up maudlin.
They would both have appreciated a sad song you can dance and holler to, as well as the "cold and lonely" cartoon chorus ;-/
( Don't you think some female vocal on the "cold and lonely" backing would be better ? )

lyrics

I've recently changed this song so have re-posted it and have to say that I am enjoying singing it so much.
