Tim Mcgraw - The Ride lyrics

[Verse 1] I was thumbing my way from Montgomery Had my guitar on my back When a stranger pulled up beside me in an antique Cadillac Well, he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hallow eyed Said: 'It's a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son' Well, I climbed up in the front seat, and he turned on the radio And them sad old songs comin' outta them speakers was solid country gold Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale when he asked me for a light And knew there was something strange about this ride [Chorus] He said: Drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sang Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues Can you bend them guitar strangs He said: Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside Cause if your big star bound let me warn you its a long hard ride [Verse 2] Well, he cried just south of Nashville, and he turned that car around He said: [spoken] this is where you get off, boy Cause I'm going back to Alabam' Well, I climbed out of that Cadillac and I said Mister, many thanks He said you don't have to call me mister, Mister The whole world calls me Hank [Chorus]
