The Last Ride Songtext / Lyric

I made my bed but I couldn't sleep in it

With the man in red tracking me minute by minute

Running like a horse, always looking behind me

But of course he would always find me



[Chorus]

Hey buddy, hey friend

My pal, my brother

We take shelter in each other

I'll keep it simple, you keep it true

I owe the last ride to you






Heaven and hell ride in tandem

I used to mix them up at random

I spent my youth on a reckless futile race

Where love and truth could never place



[Chorus]



[Bridge]

After all, nobody can save

The mortal body from the grave

Who can arrest the soul's sad journey in its plight?

One more day to get it right



I decided to stop dying

No more cheatin' no more lyin'

What kind of club opens its gates to sinners like me?

And bids them forth unto eternity



[Chorus]



Under the buckeye trees

Where the rubber city grew

I owe the last ride to you
