The Last Ride — Pretenders

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 my 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

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
