The Ride - David Allan Coe[00:00:00]
Written by:Gary Gentry/J.B. Detterline Jr.[00:00:01]
Well I was thumbing from Montgomery[00:00:12]
Had my guitar on my back[00:00:15]
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac[00:00:18]
He was dressed like 1950 half drunk and hollow eyed[00:00:23]
Said it's a long walk to Nashville would you like a ride son[00:00:28]
Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio[00:00:40]
And them sad old songs coming out of them speakers was solid country gold[00:00:45]
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale[00:00:51]
When he asked me for a light[00:00:54]
And I knew there was something strange about this ride[00:00:57]
He said[00:01:02]
Drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sing[00:01:03]
Have you paid your dues can you moan the blues[00:01:08]
Can you bend them guitar strings[00:01:11]
He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside[00:01:14]
Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya[00:01:19]
It's a long hard ride[00:01:22]
Then he cried just south of Nashville[00:01:31]
And he turned that car around[00:01:34]
He said[00:01:37]
This is where you get off boy I'm goin' back to Alabama[00:01:37]
As I stepped out of that Cadillac I said Mr. Many thanks[00:01:43]
He said you don't have to call me mister mister[00:01:49]
The whole world called me hank[00:01:51]
He said[00:01:54]
Drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sing[00:01:54]
Have you paid your dues can you moan the blues[00:02:00]
Can you bend them guitar strings[00:02:02]
He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside[00:02:06]
Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya[00:02:11]
It's a long hard ride[00:02:14]
He said[00:02:17]
Drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sing[00:02:17]
Have you paid your dues can you moan the blues[00:02:23]
Can you bend them guitar strings[00:02:25]
He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside[00:02:28]
Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya[00:02:34]
It's a long hard ride[00:02:36]
If you're big star bound let me warn ya it's a long hard ride[00:02:40]
