Do you remember last Thursday night by the wishing well? I hope you wished for yourself 'cause I wished for you as well. Now I literally don't remember the first night we met, but I remember your sweet blue eyes, that's a vignette I'll never forget. I know we just embarked on a long rocky road, and one day you might wake up and decide that I've grown old, but wait before we let this whole thing just slide, I hope that you and I will go for the Ride. Well I've been a fool, been one most of my life with mistakes done made and plenty of personal strife but if I got one thing right then I guess this is true oh, that one thing, that one thing is you I know we just embarked on a long rocky road, and one day you might wake up and decide that I've grown old, but wait before we let this whole thing just slide, I hope that you and I will go for the Ride. I know we don't know exactly what we're doing with the mischief managed and the old folks that we're fooling, but whenever you ask me just what I want to do, I'll say anything, babe, as long as it's with you. the Ride.

I picked up the newspaper today It seems the headlines had a lot to say about you and I think it might be true Well I turned on my television set what I saw made me pretty upset, it was about you and I think it might be true They said you were Bad News They said you were Bad News and I'm starting to think it's true I asked my friends if they had heard the news they said they had and I didn't need your blues I picked up all the wrong cues I thought I knew you right from the start a beautiful mask is over an ugly heart darling, that's not very smart I think you are Bad News I think you are Bad News and I hope you know it's true How I hope and I pray you find the means to change one day Please be kind, 'cause bad news doesn't get better with time.

You wasted your time, now you feel the need to try and to waste mine, well I guess that's fine I wasn't using it anyways You think that your cool with your fancy drugs by your swimming pool But you just don't get it, I'm not breaking through to you And I know, that you know, what I know and you know, that I know whatever, it is we seem to know Someday I'm going to get it right, going to wake up one morning, and not feel the need to fight every shadow in the room I've come to grips with wooden horses and crystal ships I've come to find out you just can't do it all in Ohio You think ignorance is bliss 'cause it makes it easier to get your kicks but just staying blind is called being stupid, yeah And I know, that you know, what I know And you know, that I know whatever, it is we seem to know Someday I'm going to get it right, going to wake up one morning and not feel the need to fight every shadow in the room And maybe one day you'll see it's not the people you meet that it's going to have to be sometimes it's the people that aren't worth forgetting And I know, that you know, what I know And you know, that I know whatever Someday I'm going to get it right, going to wake up one morning and not feel the need to fight every shadow in the room [Pause for claps] And maybe one day you'll see it's not the people you meet that it's going to have to be sometimes it's the people that aren't worth forgetting

She left home when she was eighteen years old how she felt so old now she's left empty with a broken smile these things they take a little while But she keeps on moving with her head in the air she's strong though no one seems to care he tries his hardest to by her side hold onto her, it's one hell of a ride oh, hold on stick by her side I wrote you a letter you deserve better 'cause even a letter won't do to see you through oh, I wish I could hold onto you But these starry nights and the freedom that they bring are the only thing that keeps me from the sting the moonlight on the rocks the what if and have nots but a letter on the heart is one hell of a start Oh, a letter on the heart is a start.

Well, I've seen troubles, nearly all my days what I saw last night won't never go away I saw my baby with another man so I feel like going out with a gun in my hand, oh what do you do? when you've lost all control all you've got is the blues to express your soul Get a gun and your closest friend start robbing banks until you've hit number ten And when your troubles have, caught up after a while go out shooting, kid, like you're right in style, alright Well, I was drifting, from town to town caught sight of that woman and I hit the ground, well I'm tired of running, time to make my stand Guess we'll have to see if I'm any kind of man, well What do you do? when you've lost all control All you've got is the blues to express your soul what do you do? well I'll tell ya, I'll tell ya Get a gun and your closest friend Start robbing banks until you've hit number ten And when your troubles have, caught up after a while go out shooting, kid, like you're right in style, alright huh Awh, what are you gonna do now? Do you hear that sound? They're coming to getcha, knocking down your door they're coming to getcha.
