It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head
That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -

I'm gonna ride on, ride on, ride on
Standing on the edge of the road (ride on)
Thumb in the air (ride on)
One of these days I'm gonna
Change my evil ways
'Til then I'll just keep riding on

Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
'Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat
But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do -

Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days

Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on

Another song that just doesn't translate well to the page. But it's just the coolest. Slow, quiet, introspective, classic blues beat. I love the repeated vow to "change my evil ways," and the way he chuckles knowingly one time when he follows up with "one of these days." But this is one of the ultimate late-night-driving songs, and one of the songs I can listen to many times in succession without burning out on it.
