Tim McGraw - The Ride Lyrics
Well I was thumbing my way from MontgomeryHad my guitar on my backWhen a stranger pulled up beside me, in a antique CadillacHe was dressed like 1950Half drunk and hollow eyedSaid its a long walk to Nashville would you like a ride son?Well I climbed up in the front seatAnd he turned on the radioAnd them sad old songs coming outta them speakers was solid country goldThen I noticed the stranger was ghost white paleWhen he asked me for a lightAnd I knew there was something strange about this rideChorusHe said drifter can you make folks cry when you play and singHave you paid your dues?Can you moan the blues?Can you bend them guitar strings?He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?Cause if your big star bound let me warn you it's a long hard rideHe cried just south of NashvilleAnd he turned that car aroundHe said "this is where you get off boy"'Cause I'm goin' back to Alabam'Well I climbed outta that CadillacAnd I said mister many thanksHe said you don't have to call me mister, misterThe whole world calls me HankChorus x2He said drifter can you make folks cry when you play and singHave you paid your dues?Can you moan the blues?Can you bend them guitar strings?He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?Cause if your big star bound let me warn you it's a long hard rideWell if you're big star bound let me warn ya, its a long hard rideIf you're big star bound........let me warn ya
