Ride On

Madeline rode away last night

On a rockin' horse

Straight into the pale moonlight

Make believe of course

What's a little girl of eight

Supposed to do when she's up so late

She can't sleep

'Cause it sounds like hate

Coming from her momma and daddy's room

Ride on, ride on

Out to where it don't hurt no more

Ride on, come on

Back to how it was before

Momma cried, and your daddy cussed

Now all they ever seem to do is fuss

Ride on

Tommy Lee's got a space machine

He keeps her ready on the launchin' pad

'Cause there've been times he has seen

And alien invade his dad

So he heads out for the stars

Past the moon and straight to mars

What about the invisible scars

That come in the bottle that his daddy brings home

Ride on, ride on

Out to where it don't hurt no more

Ride on, come on

Back to how it was before

Your momma left, your daddy changed

Now you don't even know who's to blame

Ride on

Some people just lose control

Some people hit overload

Some people are like some people

They never thought they'd be

Now why can't we all see

The only way to go

The only way to cope

The only true hope

Is love

Everybody, won't you

Ride on, ride on

Out to where it don't hurt no more

Ride on, come on

Back to how it was before

Go ahead and trust your faith

There's still a lot of hope

It's never too late

So ride on the wings of love

Ride on
