Ride On Songtext
von Don Williams

Peggy Sue rode away last night, on a rockin′ horse
Straight into the pale moonlight, make believe of course
What's a little girl of eight supposed to do when she′s up so late
She can't sleep, 'cause it sounds like hate
Comin′ from her momma and daddy′s room

Ride on, ride on
Out to where it don't hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was before
Your momma cried and your daddy cussed
All they ever seem to do is fuss
Ride on

Tommy Lee′s got a space machine
He keeps it ready on the launchin' pad
′Cause there've been times that he has seen
An alien invade his dad


So, he heads out for the stars
Past the moon and straight to Mars
But what about the invisible scars
That come in a bottle that his daddy brings home

So, ride on, ride on
Out to where It don′t hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was before
Your momma left and your daddy changed
You don't even know who's to blame
So, ride on

Some people just lose control
Some people hit overload
Some people act like some people
They never thought they′d be

So, why can′t we all see?
The only antidote, the only way to cope
The only true hope is love
So, everybody won't you


Ride on, ride on
Out to where it don′t hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was before
Go ahead and test your faith
There's still a lot of hope, it′s never too late
To ride on the wings of love
Ride on
