The Last Ride Lyrics - Break Up The Concrete - Pretenders

I made my bed but I couldn't sleep in it 

With the man in red tracking me minute by minute 

Running like a horse 

Always looking behind me 

But of course he would always find me 

[Chorus:] 

Hey buddy 

Hey friend 

My pal 

My brother 

We take shelter in each other 

I'll keep it simple 

You keep it true 

I owe my last ride to you 

Heaven and hell ride in tandem 

I used to mix them up at random 

I spent my youth on a reckless futile race 

Where love and truth could never place 

[Chorus] 

After all, nobody can save 

The mortal body from the grave 

Who can arrest the soul's sad journey in its plight? 

One more day to get it right 

I decided to stop dying 

No more cheatin' no more lyin' 

What kind of club opens its gates to sinners like me? 

And bids them forth unto eternity 

[Chorus] 

Under the buckeye trees 

Where the rubber city grew 

I owe the last ride to you
