***************** CASEY 'S LAST RIDE ***************** written and performed by Kris Kristofferson. Verse 1:
Casey joinAms the hollow sound of silent peGople walking down The stairway Fto the subway and the shadows dEmown below FollowingAm the footsteps through the neon darGkened corridors Of silent dFesperation,never speaking Emto a soul
Verse 2:
The poison aFir he's breathing has a dirty smeAmll of dieing Cause it's never seGen the sunshine and it's never feEmlt the rain Casey minAmds the arrows and ignores tGhe fatal echoes Of the clicking Fof the turnstile and the rattle ofEm his chains Am
Verse 3:
"Oh&qCuot;,she said "Casey it's been so long since i'vGe seen you" "Here",she said "Just a kiss to make aC body smile" "See",she said "I've put on new stockings just to Gplease you" "Lord" she said "Casey can you onlyC stay awhile"
Verse 4:
Casey leaAmves the underground and stops inGside the golden crown For somethingF wet to wipe away the chill thaEmt's on his bones Seeing hiAms reflection in the lives of Gall the lonely men Who reach forF anything they can to keep froEmm going home
Verse 5:
Standing Fin the corner,Casey drinks hAmis pint of bitter Never glancingG in the mirror at the people pEmassing by He stumbles Amas he's leaving and he wonders Gif the reason Is the beer thaFt's in his belly or the tear thaEmt's in his eye Am
Verse 6:
"Oh&Cquot;,she said "I suppose that you seldom thinGk about me" "Now",she said "Now that you've a family oCf your own" "Still",she said "It's so blessed and good to feeGl your body" "Lord",she said "Casey it's a shame tCo be alone"
