《The Ride》歌词

[00:00:02] The Ride-David Allan Coe

[00:00:13] I was thumbin' from montgomery

[00:00:15] Had my guitar on my back

[00:00:18] When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac

[00:00:22] Well he was dressed like 1950

[00:00:25] Half drunk and hollow-eyed

[00:00:28] Said "Its a long walk to Nashville

[00:00:31] Would you like a ride son "

[00:00:40] Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio

[00:00:45] Them sad old songs comin' out of them speakers was solid country gold

[00:00:51] And I noticed the stranger was ghost-white pale

[00:00:54] When he asked me for a light

[00:00:57] And I knew there was something strange about this ride

[00:01:00] (Chorus)

[00:01:00] He said "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing

[00:01:08] Have you paid your dues can you moan the blues

[00:01:11] Can you bend them guitar strings "

[00:01:14] He said "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside

[00:01:20] Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya its a long hard ride"

[00:01:24] Well he cried just south of Nashville

[00:01:35] And he turned that car around

[00:01:37] He said "This is where you get off boy

[00:01:40] I'm goin' back to Alabam"

[00:01:43] As I stepped out of that Cadillac

[00:01:46] I said "Mr many thanks"

[00:01:49] He said "You don't have to call me Mr Mr

[00:01:52] The whole world called me Hank

[00:01:54] Chorus

[00:02:41] If you're big star bound

[00:02:42] Let me warn ya its a long hard ride
