Stay On The Ride

Little old man Little old man staring down the road Waiting on the bus He's getting kind of cold Bus finally gets there He got nowhere to sit down And the driver said, "You can stand right here behind me Or wait for the next one to come around" And the old man says, "That's okay, I'll stand I might look like a little old man to you But I've been riding this bus for years and years and years I don't even know where it's going to" And the driver says, "You don't know where this bus is going to?" Old man says, "No, I don't, do you?" Driver says, "You don't know where this bus is going to?" Old man says, "I just want it to get me through" Hey, I'm staying on the ride It's going to take me somewhere Staying on the ride It's going to take me somewhere Somewhere, somewhere Somewhere, somewhere The bus is rolling along Outside it's looking kind of strange The Earth is shaking, the clouds are breaking Everything is blue where it was grey A thousand rivers flood Over fields of snow The driver looks back in the mirror for the old man "Where did he go, where did he go? Oh, there he is Hey, old man, old man, old man You still don't know?" And the old man says, "No, I don't, son But I'm happy to go" Hey, I'm staying on the ride It's going to take me somewhere Hey, he said, I'm staying on the ride It's going to take me somewhere Somewhere, somewhere Somewhere, somewhere I was born with no name Knowing nothing, still I don't Somebody said, "You need a name, I'm going to give you a name" And I said, "No, you won't," I said, "'No, you won't" "You can let me off here, son Thank you for the ride" And the driver said, "This is the middle of nowhere, sir" He pulls off to the side And the old man says, "It might look that way to you Maybe it is" Old man says, "It might look that way to you, son Maybe it is" And he says, stay on the ride It's going to take you somewhere Hey, hey, he said, stay on the ride It's going to take you somewhere Somewhere, somewhere Somewhere, somewhere It always takes you somewhere Going to take you somewhere It always takes you somewhere Got to take you somewhere It always takes you somewhere Going to take you somewhere It always takes you somewhere Going to take you somewhere
