Hop on a Ride

I was playing chess on Halsted street

The wind blew a one way ticket down at my feet

Packed my suitcase, finished the special tea I was drinking

I guess down south is where I'm heading

Chorus :

Hop on a ride, Hop on a ride

Hop on a ride, Hop on a ride

Passed the gateway of the west

One of the roads I like the best

Jumped out of a train in Soulville

When by the window, I saw stacks of hundred dollar bills

We all cross the Atlantic, tip our hats to the King

Now it's my time to spread my wings

Chorus

One last gaze at the sun as I'm heading to the station

Ready to jump on that big silver wagon

 

Fields and tracks are crossing over

Tracing the muddy river

At the end of the stream

The land of dreams

Chorus

Chorus
