Walk Hard The Dewey Cox Story movie - Beautiful Ride lyrics

rate me

Song by John C. Reilly<br />

Now that I have lived

A lifetime’s worth of days

Finally I see

The folly of my ways

So listen when I sing of

The temptations of this world

Fancy cars and needles

Whisky, flesh and pearls

And then in the end

It’s family and friends

Loving yourself

But not only yourself

It’s about the good walk

And the hard walk

And the young girls you’ve made cry

It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie

Beautiful ride (Chorus)

As I stand on the precipice of death

My perspective is enormous

Every leaf, every cloud

I see the hands which have formed us

And some days all you got

Is a nighttime graveyard walk

And you whistle some quick melody

To the ghosts down at the dock

It’s about the good walk

And the hard walk

And the young girls you’ve made cry

It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie

Beautiful ride(Chorus)

(bridge--)

Sing in to your hand

Lead the marching band

Don’t you let ‘em fade your colors gray

‘Cause when all is said and done

When youth is spent and burned

You’ll see that it’s all about

Music!

Flowers!

Babies!

Sharing the good times!

Traveling not just for business!

Accepting your mortality!

This— is finally what I’ve learned!

And then in the end

It’s family and friends

Loving yourself

But not only yourself

It’s about the good walk

And the hard walk

And the young girls you’ve made cry

It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie

Beautiful ride

(Chorus-2x)
