Marc Berger - Ride lyrics

rate me

Used to be silent

Used to be open

Used to be romance in a life on the plains

Now it’s Exxons and K-Marts

Best Westerns, McDonald’s

And my cattle graze on the big missile range

CHORUS:

Ride, ride

Get along little doggies

Ride, ride

So gold in the sun

Yippy-aye boys

Here the dinner bell ringin’

Get along little doggies

For day’s about done

Can’t find the campfire

Can’t find the kettle

Can’t find my harp or my steel-string guitar

When I turn off my headlights

And gaze at the heavens

See satellites pass between Venus and Mars

CHORUS:

Ride, ride

Get along little doggies

Ride, ride

So gold in the sun

Yippy-aye boys

Here the dinner bell ringin’

Get along little doggies

For day’s about done

The blacktops are fadin’

Turnpikes are openin’

But somehow it just ain’t the same as before

For it’s up in the morning

In search of the dollar

And there’s no time for ridin’ ‘round here anymore

CHORUS:

Ride, ride

Get along little doggies

Ride, ride

So gold in the sun

We’re a long way

From the wide open spaces

Get along little doggies

For day’s about done

Get along little doggies

For the West it is won
