The Ride Out Lyrics - Singles - Richard Clapton

I'm estranged by circumstances 

Beyond my control 

Spent my life oh so futile 

Upon my father's road 

Overheard him talk to strangers 

He needs someone to blame 

He's trying to hide, he's telling lies 

But can't communicate 

I been tryin', tryin' much too hard 

I don't hold the ace of spades 

'Cause I don't play cards 

I'm seeking to extend my freedom 

Outside of my mind 

Drifting on and vaguely searching 

For hope in the Northern Lights 

Oh, this house can get you down 

You don't see too many smiles about 

Something's gone wrong 

I was hoping to find peace at home 

But instead I find I'm on my own 

I'm gettin' out, I'm on the ride out 

We need hope and motivation 

To justify the roles 

You and me, we've long been playing 

Upon this stage alone
