DEWEY COX - BEAUTIFUL RIDE

Now that I have lived

A lifetime’s worth of days

Finally I see

The folly of my ways

So listen when I sing of

The temptations of this world

Fancy cars and needles

Whisky, flesh and pearls

And then in the end

It’s family and friends

Loving yourself

But not only yourself

It’s about the good walk

And the hard walk

And the young girls you’ve made cry

It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie

Beautiful ride (Chorus)

As I stand on the precipice of death

My perspective is enormous

Every leaf, every cloud

I see the hands which have formed us

And some days all you got

Is a nighttime graveyard walk

And you whistle some quick melody

To the ghosts down at the dock

It’s about the good walk

And the hard walk

And the young girls you’ve made cry

It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie

Beautiful ride(Chorus)

(bridge--)

Sing in to your hand

Lead the marching band

Don’t you let ‘em fade your colors gray

‘Cause when all is said and done

When youth is spent and burned

You’ll see that it’s all about

Music!

Flowers!

Babies!

Sharing the good times!

Traveling not just for business!

Excepting your mortality!

This— is finally what I’ve learned!

And then in the end

It’s family and friends

Loving yourself

But not only yourself

It’s about the good walk

And the hard walk

And the young girls you’ve made cry

It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie

Beautiful ride

(Chorus-2x)

==========================================

Walk hard

Hard

Down life's

Rocky road

Walk bold

Hard

At my creed

My code

I've been sworn and slandered and ridiculed too

Had to struggle everyday my whole life through

Seen my share of the worse that this world can give

But I still got a dream and a burning rage to live

Walk hard

Hard

When they say

You're all done

Walk bold

Hard

Though they say

You're not the one

Even if you've been told time and time again

That you're always gonna lose and you're never gonna win

Gotta keep that vision in your mind's eye

When you're standing on top of a mountain high

You know when I was a boy

Folks used to say to me

"Slow down Dewey, don't walk so hard"

And I used to tell them

Life's a race, and I'm in it to win it

And I'll walk as damn hard as I please

How do I walk boys?

{HARD}

When I meet my maker on my dying day

Gonna look him in the eye and by god I'll say

I gave my word and my word was good

I took it in the face and walked as hard as I could

Walk Hard

================================================

Take (Take, take)

Take my hand (Take my hand)

We're gonna walk through the park

I promise to have you, home before dark. (Home before dark)

Oh, life would be so sweet

Walking with you down the street

Oh baby

C'mon and take my hand (C'mon and take my hand)

Don't you know I like you?

You're pretty and nice

Walking with you would be paradise.

Sharing the moment, me and you

Walking down the avenue

So please (Please, please)

Take my hand (Take my hand)

You know I know you can

So please, take my hand

(Intstrumental solo)

It's alright if you're coy

After all, I'm a boy

And you're a girl but make no mistake

Your's is the hand I want to take

So please (Please, please)

Take my hand (Take my hand)

You know I know you can

So please, take my hand (C'mon and take my hand)

Come and walk with me

And please take my hand (C'mon and take my hand)
