Hank Williams, Jr. - The Ride Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery
  • Had my guitar on my back.
  • When a stranger stopped beside
  • Me in an antique cadillac.
  • He was dressed like nineteen fifty,
  • Half drunk and hollow eyed.
  • He said it's a long walk to Nashville, son would you like a ride?
  • I sat down in the front seat, he turned on the radio.
  • And them sad old songs coming out of them speakers,
  • was solid country gold.
  • Then i noticed the stranger was ghost white pale,
  • When he asked me for a light.
  • And i knew there was something strange about this ride.
  • Chorus:
  • He said "Drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sing,
  • Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues,
  • Can you bend them guitar strings?
  • He said "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside,
  • 'cause if you'rr big star bound let me warn ya it's a long hard ride."
  • Then he cried just south of Nashville,
  • and he turned that car around.
  • He said "This is where you get off boy,
  • Because i'm going back to Alabam.
  • As i stepped out of that cadillac,
  • I said mister many thanks,
  • He said "you don't have to call me mister, mister,
  • the whole world called me hank.
  • Chorus 2x
  • If you're big star bound let me warn ya,
  • it's a long hard ride.
