Ride

One day after twenty-five years

Head of service at the local Sears

Helen Walker put her pencil down and walked away

And all they found was a little note

'Adios' was all she wrote

But as she left, someone heard her say

"Gonna buy me a ticket to the end of the line

Wanna feel the air, breathe the countryside

As long as those wheels keep rollin', I'll be satisfied

Gonna ride, ride, ride"

Saturday night I was down at Joe's

He was moppin' up gettin' ready to close

He sat down and poured me one last brew

And he said to me with a sideways glance

"If I ever get the chance

I'm gonna sell this joint, and this is what I'll do"

"Gonna buy me a ticket to the end of the line

Wanna feel the air, breathe the countryside

As long as those wheels keep rollin', I'll be satisfied

Gonna ride, ride, ride"

I suppose I could stay

In this little town 'til my dying day

But in my heart I know I've gotta go

So I'm standin' at the station waitin' for the train

Don't know when I'll be back again

Mr. Engineer, won't you let your whistle blow

Got me a ticket to the end of the line

Wanna feel the air, breathe the countryside

As long as those wheels keep rollin', I'll be satisfied

Gonna ride, ride, ride

As long as those wheels keep rollin', I'll be satisfied

Gonna ride, ride, ride

Gonna ride, ride, ride
