Little old man, little old man staring down the road |
|
Waiting on the bus, he's getting kinda cold |
|
Bus finally gets there, he got nowhere to sit down |
|
And the driver said, 'You can stand right here behind me or wait for the next one to come around' |
|
And the old man says, 'That's okay, I'll stand |
|
I might look like a little old man to you |
|
But I've been riding this bus for years and years and years |
|
I don't even know where it's going to' |
|
And the driver says, 'You don't know where this bus is going to?' |
|
Old man says, 'No, I don't, do you?' |
|
Driver says, 'You don't know where this bus is going to?' |
|
Old man says, 'I just want it to get me through |
|
Hey, I'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere |
|
Staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere |
|
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere' |
|
The bus is rolling along, outside it's looking kinda strange |
|
The Earth is shaking, the clouds are breaking |
|
Everything is blue where it was gray |
|
A thousand rivers flood over fields of snow |
|
The driver looks back in the mirror for the old man |
|
'Where did he go, where did he go? |
|
Oh, there he is |
|
Hey, old man, old man, old man, you still don't know?' |
|
And the old man says, 'No, I don't son, but I'm happy to go' |
|
Hey, 'I'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere' |
|
Hey, he said, 'I'm staying on the ride, it's gonna take me somewhere |
|
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere |
|
I was born with no name, knowing nothing, still I don't |
|
Somebody said, 'You need a name, I'm gonna give you a name' |
|
And I said, 'No, you won't,' I said, 'No, you won't'' |
|
Oh, 'You can let me off here, son, thank you for the ride' |
|
And the driver said, 'This is the middle of nowhere, sir,' |
|
He pulls off to the side |
|
And the old man says, 'It might look that way to you, maybe it is' |
|
Old man says, 'It might look that way to you, son, maybe it is,' |
|
And he says, 'Stay on the ride, it's gonna take you somewhere,' |
|
Hey, hey, he said, 'Stay on the ride, it's gonna take you somewhere |
|
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere |
|
It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere |
|
It always takes you somewhere, gotta take you somewhere |
|
It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere |
|
It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere' |
