He took the picture from the wall And handed it to me and swirled I said I done nothing wrong I was framed all along Now they lied right from the start When they stole my lonely heart In the picture that you hold Lies the hidden truth untold Chorus And I was just along for the ride Where the train's bound I don't know But I'll ride I just wanted to go Farther than I'd been Now I'm along for the ride again It was a long cold rainy day They kept their smiles at bay Oh to them it was just a game To play with my life this way When the first man drew his gun Silence befell everyone Oh but a girl she ran for the door And he gunned her down to the floor Now we grabbed the loot and we rode For the posse would soon be formed Oh but the girl she laid so cold As pale as the untouched snow Chorus I was just along for the ride Where the train's bound I don't know But I'll ride I just wanted to go Farther than I'd been Now I'm along for the ride again We'd ride thru rain and snow Not knowing just which way to go Oh but this would be my last ride I'd take my leave tonight And the day before we were found In a picture we all gathered round Four men and a lie I was the only one that was blind Oh now I sit in this cell I'm waiting my day in hell So boy you listen good There ain't no refuge in the hood Oh and there's nobody to blame I'm a fool of my own acclaim Yeah I thought I'd been so wise But these men proved my demise And the train moves down the line For a different town each night Oh in search of a boy like me In search of a youth in need Chorus I was just along for the ride Where the trains' bound I don't know But I'll ride I just wanted to go Farther than I'd been Now I'm along for the ride again
