Casey's Last Ride

Written and Recorded by Kris Kristofferson

Casey joins the hollow sound of

silent people walking down

The

stairway to the subway and the

shadows down below

Following the footsteps through the

neon darkened corridors

silent desperation never

speaking to a soul

The

poison air he's breathing has a

dirty smell of dying

Cause it's

never seen the sunshine and it's

never felt the rain

Casey minds the arrows and

ignores the fatal echoes

Of the

clicking of the turnstile and the

rattle of the

chains

Oh she said Casey it's been so long since I've

seen

you

Here she said just a kiss to make a body

smile

See she said I've put on new stockings just to

please

you

Lord she said Casey can you only stay a

while

Casey leaves the underground and

stops inside the Golden Crown

For

something wet to wipe away the

chill that's in his bones

Seeing his reflection in the

lives of all the lonely men

Who

reach for anything they can to

keep from going home

Standing in the corner Casey

drinks his pint of bitter

Never

glancing in the mirror at the

people passing by

Then he

stumbles as he's leaving and he

wonders if the reason is

The

beer that's in his belly or the

tear that's in his

eye

Oh she said I suppose that you seldom think

about

Now she said now that you've a family of your

own

Still she said it's so blessed and good to feel your

body

Lord she said Casey it's a shame to be

alone
