Lyrics

Ride On

[Verse 1]

It's another lonely evenin'

In another lonely town

But I ain't too young to worry and I ain't too old to cry

When a woman gets me down

Got another empty bottle

Mm, and another empty bed

Ain't too young to admit it and I'm not too old to lie

I'm just another empty head

[Pre-Chorus]

Mm, that's why I'm lonely

I'm so lonely

But I know what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]

I'm gonna ride on

Ride on

(Ride on) Standin' on the edge of the road

(Ride on) Thumb in the air

(Ride on) One of these days, I'm gonna

(Ride on) Change my evil ways, ha

Till then, I'll just keep

Ridin' on

[Verse 2]

Broke another promise

Now I broke another heart

But I ain't too young to realize that I ain't too old to try

Try to get back to the start

And it's another red-light nightmare

Woah, and another red-light street

And I ain't too old to hurry, 'cause I ain't too old to die

But I sure am hard to beat

[Pre-Chorus]

But I'm lonely

Lord, I'm lonely

What am I gonna do?

[Chorus]

Ride on

(Ride on) Got myself a one-way ticket

Ride on

(Ride on) Goin' the wrong way

(Ride on) Gonna change my evil ways

(Ride on) One of these days

One of these days

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Ride on

Ride on

I'm gonna ride on

(Ride on) Mm, lookin' for a truck

(Ride on) Mhm

(Ride on) Keep on ridin'

Ridin' on and on and on and on and on and on and on (Ride on)

(Ride on) Gonna have myself a good time

(Ride on) Mm, yeah

(Ride on) Ride, ride, ride

(Ride on) One of these days

(Ride on) One of these days
