Ride Again

This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
 This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
 Oh gravel and dust fly up off of truck tires
 down a dirt road
 In Nashville, In the summertime, In 1996
 I was listenin' to my dad and Johnny Cash
 Doin' chain gang and talkin' trash with Savannah and smokin' cigarettes
 But it wasn't that long till I tasted the salt of the sea
 Cause she was still in love with the guy she left for me so
 She stood there cryin' as I packed my pack
 And I knew that I was lyin' when I said that I'd be back
 This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
 This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
 Now fast forward to about 2000 and 3
 I'm standin' on the corner of Hollywood and Vine
 Just a six string and me
 And that capitol building
 Lookin' up at that thing
 Wonderin' when am I gonna get my chance to sing
 But faced with that kind of predicament it'd be pretty hard not to get choked up
 When every hero I've had has died and every band I had broke up
 I'm invited to a party and I just can't come cause I know that once I'm in I can't pull out till I'm done
 This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
 This 'ol wheel keeps on rollin' down the road
 In my last nine to ten old Ah Pook waltzed in
 Put his slimy gun to my head and said son this is the end
 I said you better get back I got an army of good friends
 Who would follow me to hell and I've done the same for them
 Besides you're not going to destroy what we've worked so hard to defend
 We protect the things we love just like our families did
 We picked a long and winding course and we'd do it again
 We picked a dark horse, and we're gonna ride it till the end
