RIDE, RIDE, RIDE
I believed, this time it wouldn't be too long,
Guaranteed, but now I see that I was wrong,
Seems like our love is fading, I know the reason why,
We can't talk about it, I'm too far away to try,
And I see the train arrive - And I see the train arrive.

Every night, I laughed at all the bad advice,
They were right, and I'm the one who paid the price,
We gotta get together and conquer all the hate,
Time is runnin' out, it might even be too late,
And I see the train arrive - And I see the train arrive.

Ride, ride, ride, ride - Ride, ride, ride, ride.

So many roads to travel, So many trains to ride
So many trains to ride, Ain't no need for you to worry
Ain't no need for you to worry, Love is on my side
Don't break down, love is on our side

Ride, ride, ride, ride - Ride, ride, ride, ride.
And I see the train arrive

Here I am, a bunch of tickets in my hand,
Uncle Sam, Afraid I gotta leave your land,
I'm lookin' to the future, the past is dead and gone,
No peace for the wicked and time keeps me movin' on.
And I see the train arrive - And I see the train arrive.

Ride, ride, ride, ride - Ride, ride, ride, ride.
See the train arrive

And I see the train arrive -
And I see the train arrive -
And I see the train arrive - See the train arrive
And I see the train arrive - See the train arrive
I see the train arrive - See the train arrive
I see the train arrive - See the train arrive
I see the train - See the train arrive

I see the train - See the train arrive

FEEL SO BAD
Feel so bad, feel like a ballgame on a rainy day,
I feel so bad, feel like a ballgame on a rainy day,
Since I lost my baby, I shake my head and walk away.

Sometimes I want to stay here, then again I want to leave,
Sometimes I want to leave, then again I want to stay,
Since I got my clothes packed, I'll catch a train and ride away.
Yea-hey-yea

I'm tryin' to tell you people - try to tell you how I feel,
I'm tryin' to tell you people - try to tell you how I feel,
I feel so bad, yes I do - my baby she gave me a dirty deal, Oh yea
I feel so bad

Sometimes I want to leave - then again I want to stay,
Since I've got my clothes packed I'll catch a train and ride away.

Gonna ride away, gonna ride away,
Gonna ride away, gonna ride away,
I feel so bad, I feel so bad,
I feel so bad, I feel so bad.
Woo!

Whoa yea
I feel, I feel so bad,
I feel, I feel so bad,
I'm gonna ride away,
I'm Gonna ride away,
Gonna ride, gonna ride.

Whoo!

LONG WAY TO GO
The road that I travel is foggy and wide,
I lost my direction, I'm wanderin' from side to side.

Heart beatin' fast, feet movin' slow,
No time to lose, but I sure got a long way to go, long way to go.

Rough is the road, dark is the night,
I ain't gonna rest 'til I see the big city lights.

Temperature's high, spirit is low,
No time to lose, but I sure got a long way to go, long way to go,
No time to lose, but I sure got a long way to go.

I feel so tired, I feel so sad,
I need a rest, but that's too bad, I gotta keep movin'.

I feel so tired, I feel so sad,
I need a rest, but that's too bad.

Pain in my heart, dust in my shoes,
Ache in my body, I got the travelin' blues.

How many miles, nobody knows,
No time to lose, but I sure got a long way to go, long way to go,

No time to lose, but I sure got a long, long, long way to go.

IT’S TOO LATE
Since you've been gone, I've been holdin' on,
Behind my smile sadness grows.
I tried to hide the pain,
The pain I feel inside, but it shows.

And it's too late to change your mind - we can't turn back the hands of time,
It's too late to change your mind.

I tried and tried, but the feelin' died,
The love we had, it turned to hate.
And now you're gone for good,
I keep on sayin' baby, it's too late.

It's too late to change your mind - we can't turn back the hands of time,
It's too late to change your mind.

I'd have the strength to stand alone,
If I was strong enough to break your heart of stone.

It's too late to change your mind - we can't turn back the hands of time,
It's too late to change your mind.
Yea

I'd have the strength to stand alone,
If I was strong enough to break your heart of stone.

It's too late to change your mind - we can't turn back the hands of time,
It's too late to change your mind - we can't turn back the hands of time.

It's too late, it's too late,
It's too late, it's too late,
We can't turn back, we can't turn back,
We can't turn back, we can't turn back,
'Cause it's too late.

It's too late, it's too late,
We can't turn back, we can't turn back,
It's too late, it's too late, yeah,

We can't turn back

WHAT A SHAME
Room 57 in the midnight hour,
I'm fresh out of coffee and the cream turned sour.
I'm thinkin' 'bout the people I've been talkin' to,
Been here a long time and nobody knew.
Ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city.

What a shame, what a shame,
What a shame, what a shame.

Good music on the radio,
A whole lotta people don't wanna know.
They say that black is black and white is white,
You can't cross over 'cause it don't seem right.
Ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city.

What a shame, what a shame,
What a shame, what a shame.

Ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city.

What a shame, what a shame,

What a shame, what a shame

HELPIN’ HAND
Been ignored and I been abused,
Been mistreated and I've been misused,
Been discouraged and turned aside,
Overloaded when my hand's are tied.
That's the time, when I need a hand - A helping hand, I need a helping hand.

Things I do are criticized,
Ripped to pieces and analyzed,
I tell the truth and they call me a liar,
Exaggerator and a magnifier.
That's the time, I need a hand - A helping hand, I need a helping hand
Yea!

There were times when I lived alone,
Lock the doors, disconnect the phone.
I warn everybody, tell 'em not to call,
Complete isolation, I need most of all.
But after awhile I need some company,
I tell my friends, come see about me.
That's the time, when I need a hand - A helping hand, I need a helping hand

Need a helping hand, I need a helping hand,
Need a helping hand, I need a helping hand,
I need somebody to stand by me,
I need somebody to stand by me,
Whoa yea

I need a hand, I need a helping hand,
I need a hand, I need a helping hand,
I need somebody, I need somebody,

I need somebody, hey to stand by my me

ROAD FEVER
I'm back on the road and I ain't gonna stop,
Goin' to roll 'til I'm old, gonna rock 'til I drop.
Out of the smog, headin' into the sun,
I'm goin' to New Orleans, Bourbon Street here I come!

Road fever, wheels turnin' in the rain,
Road fever, fire burnin' in my brain,
Give her the gun, drive like a hurricane.

Got the heat up high, and the radio's on,
Diggin' rock and roll music while we're ridin' along.
Maybe Atlanta, may be Birmingham,
I know where I'm going, God knows where I am!

Road fever, wheels turnin' in the rain,
Road fever, fire burnin' in my brain,
Give her the gun, drive like a hurricane.

Speeding along like a bullet from a gun,
It's a three day ride, we're gonna make it in one.
I'm back on the road and I ain't gonna stop,
Goin' to roll 'til I'm old, gonna rock 'til I drop.

Road fever, wheels turnin' in the rain,
Road fever, fire burnin' in my brain,
Go driver go! Move like a hurricane.

Woo!
Go driver go!
We're gone
Woo!
Yea, we're goin' to New Orleans
We're goin' to New Orleans
Look out here I come

Whoo!

SHE’S GONE
Standin' by the window, starin' through the rain,
I built my world around her, now I'm on my way again.

'Cos she's gone, well she's gone,
Well she's gone, well she's gone.

She's taken all my money - she didn't even leave a dime,
Only one thing to do, stay loaded all the time.

Well she's gone, well she's gone,
Well she's gone, she's gone.

I'm gonna get me some wine,
Get high, forget all my troubles,
You know that girl was so fine,
But she's gone, gone, gone.

Days passin' slowly, nights they never end,
She's right about the future,
I'm left and now I'm lookin' for a woman and a friend.

She's gone, She's gone,
Well she's gone, she's gone,
Well she's gone, yea, yea she's gone,

It's my turn to cry, 'cause she's gone

COULDN’T MAKE HER STAY
Sometimes I sit and I wonder, why, things turned out this way.
All the times she made me happy, but I couldn't make her stay.

Now I need some lovin' - don't want to spend my life alone,
Yea, yea I need somebody,

It's so sad to be alone - it's so sad to be alone.
