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 my 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]
|
|
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
|
