The Brandos - Ridin' The Red-eye lyrics

You see that grey-haired man By the window He ain't half as old As he looks Barely aware that his wife Has left him He won't see his Children grow up Chorus: Ridin' the Red-Eye You can't take this Ride all the way Ridin' the Red-Eye Whoa, it'll k** you One day You see that girl So young and pretty She don't know she'll be Gettin' off soon She'll take anything To stay on the Red-Eye She don't see she's got It all to lose I'm sick and tired of hearin' why I should get on board That old Red-Eye To find myself surrounded By dealers, drunks And wasted lives Overdoses, bitter tears I want a sharp mind And my vision clear Gonna look at life Right in the eye Gonna make damn sure It don't pa** me by Only two ways To get off the Red-Eye One's good And the other one ain't One leaves you Six feet under One gives you A chance again Get off the Red-Eye You can't take this Ride all the way Ridin' the Red-Eye Whoa, it'll k** you One day
