David Bromberg - Ride On Out A Ways lyrics

We know how it could be, baby Somebody's been bluffing all their lives All of a sudden feels compelled to tell you the truth I never gave two thoughts about it, maybe Now you can't shut them up It's like you're a priest hearing their confessions On a misspent youth And you'd like them to tell them some damn thing, baby But what in the world would be that thing to say And things quiet down 'round here Let's you and I slip around, saddle up and ride on out of the way And you know how it can be, darling Somebody's always showing up with a cake and candle On a day you just a**umed let slip by Admit it, you'd be hurt if they forget about you, baby But every year it gets a little harder Thinking about where and how and when You're gonna have to say goodbye And they just keep on coming down, baby They just keep coming, cutting you a big old slice of this day When things quiet down 'round here As you and I slip around, saddle up and ride on out of the way And I'd love to tell you something, I'd love to tell you something, baby But whatever would be the right thing to say, hell, I don't know When things quiet down 'round here Let's you and I slip around, saddle up and ride on out of the way When things quiet down 'round here, baby As you and I slip around, saddle up and ride on out of the way Yeah, when things settle down 'round here, baby Let's you and I slip around, saddle up and ride on out of the way
