Let Me Ride Lyrics - Seven Turns - Allman Brothers Band

Well, now, times got hard 

And I didn't draw the card I needed 

So, I proceeded to bang it on down the line 

Hitchhike, turnpike 

And if you got room, won't you let me ride? 

Just as far as you're going 

And, Lord knowing, I'll be much obliged 

There was a light rain falling 

I started recalling how lonesome a man can be 

Feeling a chill when over the hill 

Came a brand new baby blue Cadillac 

Stop on a dime 

I threw my guitar in the back, and I climbed inside 

Big blue eyes said, "Hey, boy, don't you want a ride?"

I said, "To Birmingham, Alabama 

Or to Nashville, Tennessee will do just fine with me 

Don't you know what I mean? 

I'm coming from New Orleans 

Now, hey 

Mama, won't you let me ride?" 

Well, now, black fur coat, diamond ring 

Shining like something I ain't ever seen 

My old guitar and a roadside bar 

Walked in the door looking like a movie queen 

There was a honky-tonk jukebox, hardwood floor 

She said, "I ain't ever seen nothing like this before." 

I said, "That's all right, mama, won't you let me ride?"

On down to Birmingham, Alabama 

Or to Nashville, Tennessee will do fine with me 

Don't you know what I mean? 

I'm coming from New Orleans 

Now, hey 

Mama, won't you let me ride?"
