Casey's Last Ride Lyrics Artist(Band):Calexico
Words and music by Kris Kristofferson From Nothing Left To Lose - A Tribute To Kris Kristofferson Casey joins the hollow sound Of silent people walking down The stairway to the subway In the shadows down below Following their footsteps Through the neon-darkened corridor Silent desperation Never speaking to a soul The poison air he is breathing Has the dirty smell of dye Cause it's never seen the sunshine And it's never felt the rain But casey minds the arrows And ignores the fatal echoes Of the clickin' of the turnstiles And the rattle of his chains Oh, she said, Casey, it's been so long Since I seen you Here, she said Just a kiss to make a body smile See, she said I put on new stockings just to please you Lord, she said Casey can you only stay a while? Casey leaves the underground And stops inside the golden crown For something wet to wipe away The chill that's on his bone Seeing his reflection In the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for anything they can To keep from going home Standing in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancing in the mirror At the people passing by And he stumbles as he's leaving And he wonders if the reason Is the beer that's in his belly Or the tear that's in his eye Oh, she said I suppose you seldom think about me Now, she said Now that you've a family of your own Still, she said It's so blessed good to feel your body Lord, she said If you find some error in Casey's Last Ride Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?
