The Last Ride

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
