Lyrics The Ride

Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery had my guitar on my back

When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac

Now he was dressed like nineteen fifty half drunk and hollow-eyed

He said it's a long walk to Nashville

Would you like a ride, son?

Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio

And them sad old songs comin' 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

He said drifter

Can ya 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?

'Cos if you're 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 'cos I'm goin' 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

He said drifter

Can ya 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?

'Cos if you're big star bound let me warn ya it's a long hard ride

He said drifter

Can ya 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?

'Cos if you're big star bound let me warn ya it's a long hard ride

If you're big star bound let me warn ya it's a long hard ride

You know you got a lot of competition out there now son

It's not like it was in the fifties when I was here

Then you got Waylon Jennings

Willie Nelson

Guy Clark and Billy Joe Shafer

David Allan Coe

And you even got my son
