Stay On The Ride Lyrics - Children Running Through - Patty Griffin

little old man, little old man staring down the road 

waiting on the bus, he's getting kinda cold 

bus finally gets there, he got nowhere to sit down 

and the driver said, "you can stand right here behind me or wait for the next one to come around" 

and the old man says, "that's okay, i'll stand 

i might look like a little old man to you 

but i've been riding this bus for years and years and years 

i don't even know where it's going to" 

and the driver says, "you don't know where this bus is going to?" 

old man says, "no, i don't, do you?" 

driver says, "you don't know where this bus is going to?" 

old man says, "i just want it to get me through 

hey, i'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere 

staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere 

somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere"

the bus is rolling along, outside it's looking kinda strange 

the earth is shaking, the clouds are breaking 

everything is blue where it was gray 

a thousand rivers flood over fields of snow 

the driver looks back in the mirror for the old man 

"where did he go, where did he go? 

oh, there he is 

hey, old man, old man, old man, you still don't know?" 

and the old man says, "no, i don't son, but i'm happy to go" 

hey, "i'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere" 

hey, he said, "i'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere 

somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere 

i was born with no name, knowing nothing, still i don't 

somebody said, 'you need a name, i'm gonna give you a name' 

and i said, 'no, you won't,' i said, 'no, you won't'" 

oh, "you can let me off here, son, thank you for the ride" 

and the driver said, "this is the middle of nowhere, sir," 

he pulls off to the side 

and the old man says, "it might look that way to you, maybe it is" 

old man says, "it might look that way to you, son, maybe it is," 

and he says, "stay on the ride, it's gonna take you somewhere," 

hey, hey, he said, "stay on the ride, it's gonna take you somewhere 

somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere 

it always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere 

it always takes you somewhere, gotta take you somewhere 

it always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere 

it always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere"
