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
 Comin' from her momma and daddy's room
 Chorus:
 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
 An 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
 Chorus:
 Ride on, ride on
 Out to where it don't hurt no more
 Ride on, come on
 Back to how it was before
 Her momma left, her daddy changed
 Now you don't even know who's to blame
 Ride on
 Bridge:
 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 antidote
 The only way to cope
 The only true hope
 Is love
 Chorus:
 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
