Casey's Last Ride - John Denver

[00:15.82]Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people walking down
[00:23.21]The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below
[00:31.03]Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
[00:37.73]Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul
[00:45.26]The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying
[00:52.23]Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
[00:59.26]But casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
[01:06.49]Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain
[01:20.53]Oh she said, casey it's been so long since i've seen you
[01:33.13]Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile
[01:44.89]See she said, i put on new stockings just to please you
[01:56.03]Lord she said, casey can you only stay a while
[02:10.27]Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
[02:17.04]For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones
[02:24.67]Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
[02:31.56]Who reach for anything thay can to keep from going home
[02:38.53]Standing in the corner casey drinks his pint of bitter
[02:45.38]Never glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by
[02:52.31]And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason
[02:59.53]Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
[03:13.95]Oh she said, i suppose you seldom think about me
[03:26.61]Now she said, now that you've a family of your own
[03:37.69]Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body
[03:48.99]Lord she said, casey it's a shame to be alone
[03:59.23]Oh she said, casey it's been so long since i've seen you
[04:11.13]Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile
[04:21.98]See she said, i put on new stockings just to please you
[04:33.39]Lord she said, casey can you only stay a while
[04:44.22]Lord she said, casey it's a shame to be alone
