Lyrics: Ride On by AC/DC
It's another lonely evening In another lonely town But I ain't too young to worry And I ain't too old to cry When a woman gets me down Got another empty bottle Mmmh and another empty bed Ain't too young to admit it And I'm not too old to lie I'm just another empty head Mmmh, that's why I'm lonely I'm so lonely But I know what I'm going to do I'm gonna ride on Ride on (Ride on) Standing on the edge of the road (Ride on) Thumb in the air (Ride on) One of these days I'm gonna change my evil ways 'Till then I'll just keep riding on Broke another promise And I broke another heart But I ain't too young to realize That I ain't too old to try Try to get back to the start And it's another red-light nightmare Woah, an' another red-light street And I ain't too old to hurry 'Cause I ain't too old to die But I sure am hard to beat But I'm lonely Lord, I'm lonely What am I gonna do? (Ride on, ride on) Got myself a one-way ticket (Ride on, ride on) Goin' the wrong way (Ride on) Gonna change my evil ways ...One of these days One of these days (Ride on, ride on) I'm gonna ride on (Ride on) Mmmh, lookin' for a truck (Ride on) Mmm-hm, keep on riding Ridin' on and on and on and on and on and on and on (Ride on, ride on) Gonna have myself a good time (Ride on) Mmm, yeah (Ride on) Ride, ride, ride (Ride on) One of these days (Ride on) One of these days
