Just Along For The Ride

Just Along For The Ride
 He took the picture from the wall
 And handed it to me and swirled
 I said I done nothing wrong
 I was framed all along
 Now they lied right from the start
 When they stole my lonely heart
 In the picture that you hold
 Lies the hidden truth untold
 Chorus
 And I was just along for the ride
 Where the train's bound I don't know
 But I'll ride
 I just wanted to go
 Farther than I'd been
 Now I'm along for the ride again
 It was a long cold rainy day
 They kept their smiles at bay
 Oh to them it was just a game
 To play with my life this way
 When the first man drew his gun
 Silence befell everyone
 Oh but a girl she ran for the door
 And he gunned her down to the floor
 Now we grabbed the loot and we rode
 For the posse would soon be formed
 Oh but the girl she laid so cold
 As pale as the untouched snow
 Chorus
 I was just along for the ride
 Where the train's bound I don't know
 But I'll ride
 I just wanted to go
 Farther than I'd been
 Now I'm along for the ride again
 We'd ride thru rain and snow
 Not knowing just which way to go
 Oh but this would be my last ride
 I'd take my leave tonight
 And the day before we were found
 In a picture we all gathered round
 Four men and a lie
 I was the only one that was blind
 Oh now I sit in this cell
 I'm waiting my day in hell
 So boy you listen good
 There ain't no refuge in the hood
 Oh and there's nobody to blame
 I'm a fool of my own acclaim
 Yeah I thought I'd been so wise
 But these men proved my demise
 And the train moves down the line
 For a different town each night
 Oh in search of a boy like me
 In search of a youth in need
 Chorus
 I was just along for the ride
 Where the trains' bound I don't know
 But I'll ride
 I just wanted to go
 Farther than I'd been
 Now I'm along for the ride again
