David Alan Coe - The Ride слова песни
I was thumbin` from montgomeryHad my guitar on my backWhen a stranger stopped beside me in an antique CadillacWell he was dressed like 1950Half drunk and hollow-eyedSaid "Its a long walk to NashvilleWould you like a ride, son?"Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radioThem sad old songs comin` out of them speakers was solid country goldAnd I noticed the stranger was ghost-white paleWhen he asked me for a lightAnd I knew there was something strange about this ride(Chorus)He said "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?Have 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 you`re big star bound let me warn ya, its a long, hard ride"Well he cried just south of NashvilleAnd he turned that car aroundHe said "This is where you get off boy,I`m goin` back to Alabam"As I stepped out of that CadillacI said "Mr., many thanks"He said "You don`t have to call me Mr., Mr.,The whole world called me HankChorusIf you`re big star boundLet me warn ya its a long, hard ride
