Very Long Ride

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I got up early and the sun was by my side

I thought you was my friend

But all you did was lie

And now I carry this until the day I die

I keep on riding till the sun goes from the sky

Sometimes you get the bear and

Sometimes the bear gets you

I know it's the only fight you got

Look what it's done to you

I carry this .357 in my hand

Don't ask me why

If you don't want to understand

I keep on moving I keep driving through this land

And by the moonlight I will travel if I can

It's gonna take nerve

It's gonna take real nerve

It's gonna take more than you ever ever ever

Thought it could

Very Long Ride it's a Very Long Ride

Very Long Ride it's a

Long Ride

Very Long Ride it's a Very Long Ride

Very Long Ride it's a

Long Ride

I travel light cos I am the lone rider

I travel light cos I am the outsider

I travel light cos I'm a very good fighter

I travel light all through the day

And through the night

It's gonna take more than reaction

Much more than a brave attempt

You're gonna need skin like a rhino

To face such cold contempt

I drive in style I drive a '99 Beamer

And you just wait until the time that I see ya

You better look again before you look away

I will be driving by the Kings Highway

Very very

Demi-semi-quaverous

Very Long Ride

I keep on moving now until I reach the end

But I'm not moving cos I'm looking for revenge

And I'm not moving cos a friend of mine crossed me

I'll just keep on till I get you the fuck off me
