It's the last ride

Our little game is over

It's the last ride

It's time to take you home

And we can't cry 'cause we seen it coming

No use running, take it slower



It's a dangerous drive

I'm afraid to arrive

But I strive to survive

More a fool than alive

I thought I knew just everything

I had it made and I could coast

But I turned away love when I needed it most



It's the last ride

My little game is over

It's the last ride

It's time to take me home

And I can't cry 'cause I seen it coming

No use running, take it slower



And the road rolls around

And turns through the town

The depression drips down

And glazes the ground

Horizons east and skylines west

The moon, the sun, and all the rest

The loving son, the faithful wife

The burnt out wreck of a poor man's life

The father, son, and holy ghost

They all turned away love when they needed it most



It's the last ride

Their little game is over

It's the last ride

It's time to take them home

And they can't cry 'cause they seen it coming

No use running, take it slower
