Casey's Last Ride - Willie Nelson[00:00:01]

Casey joins the hollow sound of silent[00:00:14]

People walking down [00:00:18]

The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below [00:00:20]

Following their footsteps[00:00:27]

Through the neon-darkened corridors [00:00:29]

Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul [00:00:33]

The poison air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dying [00:00:43]

'Cos it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain [00:00:50]

But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes [00:00:57]

Of the clicking of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains [00:01:03]

"Oh " she said: "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you [00:01:16]

"Here " she said: "just a kiss to make a body smile [00:01:26]

"See " she said: "I've put on new stockings just to please you [00:01:36]

"Lord " she said "Casey can you only stay a while "[00:01:46]

Casey leaves the underground[00:02:09]

And stops inside The Golden Crown [00:02:12]

For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones [00:02:15]

Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men [00:02:22]

Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home [00:02:28]

Standing in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter [00:02:39]

Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by [00:02:45]

Then he stumbles as he's leaving[00:02:53]

And he wonders if the reason [00:02:56]

Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye [00:02:59]

"Oh " she said: "I suppose you seldom think about me [00:03:13]

"Now " she said: "now that you've a family of your own [00:03:23]

"Still " she said: "It's so blessed good to feel your body [00:03:33]

"Lord " she said: "Casey it's a shame to be alone[00:03:43]
