Pretenders — 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
