It's been three days since you've been gone.
We buried you today.
It happened all so suddenly.
There was barely time to pray.
I laid a flower upon your stone,
And then I turned away.
No, today is not my friend,
And time ain't on my side.
I guess I'll go downtown
For one last ride.
The house is nearly empty now.
I don't want our things in here.
For each one holds a memory,
And each memory brings a tear.
It all recalled our happy days
And when I held you near.
No, the past is not my friend,
And every night I've cried.
I guess I'll go downtown
For one last ride.
One last ride
Through the world we once knew.
One last ride
Through every memory of you.
One last ride.
What am I going to do
With all the love and dreams we cherished
Right up til the day you perished?
Now all these thoughts of love and dreams
Have left me bruised and sore.
The things that made me happy once
Ain't a-workin' anymore.
You know I won't be back again
When I walk through that door,
'Cause the future ain't my friend.
No, it's not where I'll reside.
I guess I'll go downtown
For one last ride.
I guess I'll go downtown
For one last ride.
I guess I'll go downtown
For one last ride.
