Now that I have lived a lifetimes worth of days
Finally I see the folly of my ways
So listen when I sing of the temptations of this world
Fancy cars and needles, whiskey, flesh, and pearls
And then in the end it's family and friends
Loving yourself, but not only yourself
It's about the good walk and the hard walk
And the young girls you made cry
It's about making a little music everyday 'til you die
It's a beautiful ride
A beautiful ride
Beautiful, beautiful ride
As I stand on the precipice of death
My perspective is enormous
In every leaf, every cloud
I see the hands which have formed us
And some days all you got
Is a night time graveyard walk
And you whistle some sweet melody
To the ghosts down at the dock
Sing into your hand, lead the marching band
Don't you let 'em fade your colors gray
'cause when all is said and done
When youth is spent and burned
You'll see that it's all about
Music, flowers, babies, sharing the good times, Traveling not just for business, excepting your mortality
This is finally what I've learned
And then in the end, it's family and friends
Loving yourself, but not only yourself
It's about the good walk and the hard walk
And the young girls you made cry
It's about making a little music everyday 'til you die
It's a beautiful ride
Beautiful ride
Beautiful beautiful ride
Beautiful ride
Beautiful beautiful ride

The End.
