Ride By Robert Earl Keen Capo 2 C G One day after twenty five years Am F Head of service at the local Sears C G F Helen Walker put her pencil down and walked away C G And all they found was a little note Am F adios was all she wrote C G C But as she left someone heard her say Chorus: F C Am Gonna buy me a ticket to the end of the line F D7 G Wanna feel the air and breathe the countryside C G Long as those wheels keep-a-rollin Am F C G C I'll be satisfied, gonna ride, ride, ride. Saturday night I was down at Joe's He was moppin' up getting ready to close He sat down and poured me one last brew And he said to me with a sideways glance If I ever get the chance I'm gonna sell this joint and this is what I'll do Chorus I suppose I could stay In this little town till my dying day But in my heart I know I gotta go So I'm standing at the station waitin' for the train Don't know when I'll be back again Mr. Engineer won't you let your whistle blow
