Ride On

Madeline rode away last night On a rockin' horse Straight into the pale moonlight Make believe of course What's a little girl of eight Supposed to do when she's up so late She can't sleep 'cause it sounds like hate Comin' from her momma and daddy's room Chorus: Ride on, ride on Out to where it don't hurt no more Ride on, come on Back to how it was before Momma cried and your daddy cussed Now all they ever seem to do is fuss Ride on Tommy Lee's got a space machine He keeps her ready on the launchin' pad 'Cause there've been times he has seen An alien invade his dad So he heads out for the stars Past the moon and straight to mars What about the invisible scars That come in the bottle that his daddy brings home Chorus: Ride on, ride on Out to where it don't hurt no more Ride on, come on Back to how it was before Her momma left, her daddy changed Now you don't even know who's to blame Ride on Bridge: Some people just lose control Some people hit overload Some people are like some people They never thought they'd be Now why can't we all see The only antidote The only way to cope The only true hope Is love Chorus: Everybody, won't you Ride on, ride on Out to where it don't hurt no more Ride on, come on Back to how it was before Go ahead and trust your faith There's still a lot of hope It's never too late So ride on the wings of love Ride on
