The Ride (1983)

Well I was thumbing back from Montgomery with a guitar on my back

When a stranger pulled up beside me in an antique Cadillac

He was dressed like 1950 half drunk and hallow eyed

Its a long walk to Nashville would you like a ride son


He sat down in the front seat and 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 knew there was something strange about this ride


He said mister can you make folks cry when you play and sang

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 your big star bound let me warn you 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 cause I'm going back to Alabam

I stepped out of that Cadillac and I said mister many thanks

He said you don't have to call me mister, mister the whole world called me Hank


He said mister can you make folks cry when you play and sang

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 your big star bound let me warn you it’s a long hard ride


He said mister can you make folks cry when you play and sang

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 your big star bound let me warn you it’s a long hard ride

If your big star bound let me warn you it’s a long hard ride
