I made my bed but I couldn't sleep in it
With the man in red tracking me minute by minute
Running like a horse, always looking behind me
But of course he would always find me

[Chorus]
Hey buddy, hey friend
My pal, my brother
We take shelter in each other
I'll keep it simple, you keep it true
I owe the last ride to you
Heaven and hell ride in tandem
I used to mix them up at random
I spent my youth on a reckless futile race
Where love and truth could never place

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
After all, nobody can save
The mortal body from the grave
Who can arrest the soul's sad journey in its plight?
One more day to get it right
I decided to stop dying
No more cheatin' no more lyin'
What kind of club opens its gates to sinners like me?
And bids them forth unto eternity

[Chorus]

Under the buckeye trees
Where the rubber city grew
I owe the last ride to you
