Ride Easy

Many days I've traveled, but I know not where I'm going to

I'm lost, lost along the way

From Mexico to Paris, always the same solitary circle

In an empty cafe

Their faces were so empty, meaningless and negative to me

I could have died

The bodies and the strangers reflected in their glasses as they drank

Not seeing eye to eye

Ride Easy my friends, this journey ends

Before it begins

Ride Easy my friends, this story ends

Before it begins

Long dead winter, when I thought that spring would never come again

Melting the snow

Many days I've reveled, evenings through to mornings through to evenings

With nothing to show

Their faces were so empty, meaningless and negative to me

I could have died

The bodies and the strangers, reflected in their glasses as they drank

Not seeing eye to eye

Many days I've traveled, going 'round in social circles lost

Lost along the way

Many nights I've reveled, but I thought I saw the message in a bottle

And drifting away

[Chorus]"
