"Stay On The Ride" lyrics
"Stay On The Ride"
Little old man
Little old man staring down the road
Waiting on the bus
He's getting kind of cold
Bus finally gets there
He got nowhere to sit down
And the driver said, "You can stand right here behind me
Or wait for the next one to come around"
And the old man says, "That's okay, I'll stand
I might look like a little old man to you
But I've been riding this bus for years and years and years
I don't even know where it's gonna"
And the driver says, "You don't know where this bus is gonna?"
Old man says, "No, I don't, do you?"
Driver says, "You don't know where this bus is gonna?"
Old man says, "I just want it to get me through"
Hey, I'm staying on the ride
It's gonna take me somewhere
Staying on the ride
It's gonna take me somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
The bus is rolling along
Outside it's looking kind of strange
The Earth is shaking, the clouds are breaking
Everything is blue where it was grey
A thousand rivers flood
Over fields of snow
The driver looks back in the mirror for the old man
"Where did he go, where did he go?
Oh, there he is
Hey, old man, old man, old man
You still don't know?"
And the old man says, "No, I don't, son
But I'm happy to go"
Hey, I'm staying on the ride
It's gonna take me somewhere
Hey, he said, I'm staying on the ride
It's gonna take me somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I was born with no name
Knowing nothing, still I don't
Somebody said, "You need a name, I'm gonna give you a name"
And I said, "No, you won't," I said, "'No, you won't"
"You can let me off here, son
Thank you for the ride"
And the driver said, "This is the middle of nowhere, sir"
He pulls off to the side
And the old man says, "It might look that way to you
Maybe it is"
Old man says, "It might look that way to you, son
Maybe it is"
And he says, stay on the ride
It's gonna take you somewhere
Hey, hey, he said, stay on the ride
It's gonna take you somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
It always takes you somewhere
Gonna take you somewhere
It always takes you somewhere
Got to take you somewhere
It always takes you somewhere
Gonna take you somewhere
It always takes you somewhere
Gonna take you somewhere

Mary Gauthier - "How You Learn To Live Alone" First you fall then you fly
And you believe that you belong up in the sky
Flap your arms as you run, every revolution
Brings you closer to the sun
You fall asleep in motion in uncharted hemispheres...
Cowboy Junkies - "The Way I Feel" The way I feel is like a robin
Whose babes have flown to come no more
Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin'
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
Now a woman Lord is like a young bird
And...
Dar Williams - "Whispering Pines" If you find me in a gloom, or catch me in a dream
Inside my lonely room, there is no in between
Whispering pines, rising of the tide
If only one star shines
That's just enough to get inside
I will...
The Be Good Tanyas - "Light Enough To Travel" Wound up drunk again on Robson St
Strange 'cause we always agreed
At the start of every evening
That's the last place I want to be
Coffee drinkers dressed in black with no sugar
They don't give me...
