Casey\'s Last Ride (Country)

Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridors Silent desperation never speaking to a soul Poisoned air he's breathing as a dirty smell of dying Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echo Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of his keys Ch.1. Oh, she said, Casey it's been so long since I've seen you Here, she said, just a kiss to make your body smile See, she said, I've put on new stockings just to please you Lord, she said, Caseys, could you only stay a while? Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden Crown For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones Seeing his reflections in the lives of all the lonely men Who rich for anything they can to keep from going home Standing in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter Ever glancing in the mirror at the people passing by Then he stumbles as he's livin' and he wonders if the reason Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye Ch.2. Oh, she said, I suppose you seldom think about me Now, she said, now that you have family of your own Still, she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body Lord, she said, Casey, it's a shame to be alone Ch.1. Oh, she said, Casey it's been so long since I've seen you Here, she said, just a kiss to make your body smile See, she said, I've put on new stockings just to please you Lord, she said, Casey, it's a shame to be alone
