(The Ride) 
 
Verse 1: 
 
D                                     
I was thumbin' back from Montgomery  
F 
with a guitar on my back 
G                                           D 
When a stranger pulled up beside me in an antique Cadillac. 
                                     F 
Well, he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow eyed 
     G                                               D 
Said its a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son. 
                                     F 
Well I climbed up in the front seat, and he turned on the radio 
         G                                             D  
and them sad old songs comin' outta them speakers was solid country gold. 
                                                           F 
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale when he asked me for a light. 
     G                                           D 
And knew there was somethin' strange about this ride. 
 
Chorus: 
           C                         G                     D 
He said, Drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sang. 
      
Have you pay your dues, can you moan the blues 
         A 
Can you bend them guitar strangs. 
          C                       G                   D 
He said, Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside, 
               C                    G                        D 
Cause if your big star bound let me warn you its a long hard ride. 
 
Verse 2:  
 
Well, he cried just south of Nashville, and he turned that car around. 
He said, this is where you get off, boy  
Cause I'm going back to Alabam'. 
Well I climbed out of that Cadillac and I said Mister, many thanks. 
And he said, you don't have to call me mister, Mister. 
The whole world calls me Hank.
