Isaiah Johnson - One Last Ride lyrics

[WASHINGTON] Hamilton! [HAMILTON] Sir! [WASHINGTON] I hope you're happy [HAMILTON] Sir, is this about the Whiskey Rebellion In western Pennsylvania? [WASHINGTON] You could've given me a word of warning [HAMILTON] Because it is your Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson Who has been agitating these men to rebellion [WASHINGTON] Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning [HAMILTON] I'm sorry—what? [WASHINGTON] This is expensive stuff [HAMILTON] The whiskey tax is very unpopular But necessary, sir [WASHINGTON] Haven't you talked enough? [HAMILTON] I hate to think about what Jefferson Will do when he's no longer in this Cabinet [WASHINGTON] Why? [HAMILTON] Imagine the damage he'll inflict Agitating from the outside [WASHINGTON] He's gonna to run for president In two years' time [HAMILTON] Ha, good luck defeating you, sir [WASHINGTON] I won't be running in two years' time [HAMILTON] Why? [WASHINGTON] One last ride, while I'm in my prime I'll need you by my side And while we still have time We're gonna teach ‘em how to say goodbye Say goodbye—you and I! Let's begin First, write my farewell address; Madison wrote the first draft It's a mess Start with his words, or start from scratch [HAMILTON] To you, sir [WASHINGTON] Hmm. Down the hatch! [HAMILTON] But what about the rebels Who are mad about this whiskey? [WASHINGTON] I have a plan, but it's risky [HAMILTON] What's your plan, sir? [WASHINGTON] If I still fit in this thing— [HAMILTON] What? [WASHINGTON] We're gonna saddle up and win this thing! [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] One last ride— [WASHINGTON] Let's show these hellions! I'm gonna need you— [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] By my side [WASHINGTON We know from rebellions We're gonna teach ‘em How to stay in line, Stay in line— [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] You and I! [WASHINGTON] I never wanted a crown; I never wanted to lead But I couldn't turn my back On a nation in need [HAMILTON] Sir, you were born to lead [WASHINGTON] One last ride. I'm past my prime, but I served with pride And while we still have time We're gonna teach ‘em how to say goodbye You and I [COMPANY] Western Pennsylvania Here comes the President! [REBEL 1] Oh my god! [COMPANY] Here comes the President! [REBEL 1] Everybody put your guns down! [COMPANY] Here comes the President! [REBEL 1] Can it really be? [REBEL 2] It is! Look! [COMPANY] Here comes the President! [REBELS] George Washington! [WASHINGTON] You are outgunned! [HAMILTON] What! [WASHINGTON] Outmanned! [HAMILTON] What! [WASHINGTON] Outnumbered, outplanned! [HAMILTON] Pay your f**ing taxes! [WASHINGTON] Put your guns down on my command! [HAMILTON] Hand ‘em over! [WASHINGTON] This is Hamilton, my right-hand man [HAMILTON] Y'all know me. [COMPANY] We're outgunned— [HAMILTON] What! [COMPANY] Outmanned— [HAMILTON] You hear it? [COMPANY] Outnumbered, outplanned [HAMILTON] Distilled spirits. [COMPANY] The greatest man in all of the land [HAMILTON] Please rise for your President [COMPANY] George Washington! [HAMILTON] Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration I am unconscious of intentional error I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects Not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors I shall also carry with me the hope that my country Will never cease to view them with indulgence; And that, after— [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] Forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal The faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion As I myself must soon be To the mansions of rest I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat In which I promise myself to realize,the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens The benign influence of good laws under a free government The ever-favorite object of my heart And the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers [WASHINGTON] One last ride [HAMILTON] Teach ‘em how to say goodbye [WASHINGTON] You and I One last hurrah! [HAMILTON] History has its eyes on you! [WASHINGTON] Oh, we're gonna teach ‘em how to say goodbye Teach ‘em how to say goodbye Say goodbye, say goodbye One last ride!
