John C. Reilly Beautiful Ride
Now that I have lived
A lifetime’s worth of days
Finally I see
The folly of my ways
So listen when I sing of
The temptations of this world
Fancy cars and needles
Whisky, flesh and pearls
And then in the end
It’s family and friends
Loving yourself
But not only yourself
It’s about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you’ve made cry
It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie
Beautiful ride (Chorus)
As I stand on the precipice of death
My perspective is enormous
Every leaf, every cloud
I see the hands which have formed us
And some days all you got
Is a nighttime graveyard walk
And you whistle some sweet melody
To the ghosts down at the dock
It’s about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you’ve made cry
It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie
Beautiful ride(Chorus)
(bridge--)
Sing in to your hand
Lead the marching band
Don’t you let ‘em fade your colors gray
‘Cause when all is said and done
When youth is spent and burned
You’ll see that it’s all about
Music!
Flowers!
Babies!
Sharing the good times!
Traveling not just for business!
Excepting your mortality!
This— is finally what I’ve learned!
And then in the end
It’s family and friends
Loving yourself
But not only yourself
It’s about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you’ve made cry
It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie
Beautiful ride
(Chorus-2x)
