Ride On

Peggy Sue rode away last night, on a rocking horse
Straight into the pale moonlight, make believe of course
But whatâ"š¬â"ž¢s a little girl of eight
Supposed to do when sheâ"š¬â"ž¢s up so late
She canâ"š¬â"ž¢t sleep â"š¬í‹Å“cause it sounds like hate
Coming from her momma and daddyâ"š¬â"ž¢s room
Chorus:
Ride on, ride on
Out to where it donâ"š¬â"ž¢t hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was before
Your momma left and your daddy cussed
All they ever seem to do is fuss, ride on
Tommy Leeâ"š¬â"ž¢s got a space machine,
he keeps it ready on the launching pad
â"š¬í‹Å“Cause thereâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been times that he has seen,
an alien invade his dad
So he heads out for the stars
Past the moon and straight to Mars
But what about the invisible scars
That come in a bottle that his daddy brings home
Chorus:
Ride on, ride on
Out to where it donâ"š¬â"ž¢t hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was before
Your momma left and your daddy changed
You donâ"š¬â"ž¢t even know whoâ"š¬â"ž¢s to blame, so ride on
Bridge:
Some people just lose control, some people hit overload
Some people act like some people, they never thought theyâ"š¬â"ž¢d be
So why canâ"š¬â"ž¢t we all see
The only antidote, The only way to cope
The only true hope is love
So everybody wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t you,
Chorus:
Ride on, ride on
Out to where it donâ"š¬â"ž¢t hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was before
Go ahead and test your faith
Thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s still a lot of hope, itâ"š¬â"ž¢s never too late
To ride on the wings of love, ride on
