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
Following Amthe 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 of Emhis chainsAm  
[Verse 3]
"Oh",she sCaid "Casey it's been so long since i've seen you"G  
"Here",she said "Just a kiss to make a body smile"C  
"See",she said "I've put on new stockings just to please you"G  
"Lord" she said "Casey can you only stay awhile"C  
[Verse 4]
Casey leaAmves the underground and stops inGside the golden crown
For something Fwet to wipe away the chill thaEmt's on his bones
Seeing hiAms reflection in the lives of Gall the lonely men
Who reach for Fanything they can to keep froEmm going home
[Verse 5]
Standing Fin the corner,Casey drinks hAmis pint of bitter
Never glancing Gin 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 eyeAm  
[Verse 6]
"Oh",she Csaid "I suppose that you seldom think about me"G  
"Now",she said "Now that you've a family of your own"C  
"Still",she said "It's so blessed and good to feel your body"G  
"Lord",she said "Casey it's a shame to be alone"C
