I thought you was my friend,
But all you did was lie.
And now I carry this until the day I die.
I keep on riding till the sun falls from the sky.
Sometimes you get the bear,
And sometimes the bear gets you.
I know it's the only fight you got.
Look what it's done to you.
I carry this .357 in my hand.
Don't ask me why,
If you don't want to understand.
I keep on moving, I keep driving through this land.
And by the moonlight, I will travel if I can.
It's gonna take nerve.
It's gonna take real nerve.
It's gonna take more than you ever, ever, ever,
Thought it could.
Very long ride, it's a very long ride.
Very long ride, it's a long ride.
Very long ride, it's a very long ride.
Very long ride, it's a long ride.
I travel light 'cos I am the lone rider.
I travel light 'cos I am ther outsider.
I travel light 'cos I'm a very good fighter.
I travel light all through the day
And through the night.
It's gonna take more than reaction,
Much more than a brave attempt.
You're gonna need skin like a rhino,
To face such cold contempt.
I drive in style. I drive a '99 Beamer.
And you just wait until the time that I see ya.
You better look again before you look away.
I will be driving by the Kings Highway.
It's gonna take nerve.
It's gonna take real nerve.
It's gonna take more than you ever, ever, ever,
Thought it could.
Very long ride, it's a very long ride.
Very long ride, it's a long ride.
Very long ride, it's a very long ride.
Very long ride, it's a long ride.
Very, very...
Demi-semi-quaverous
Very long ride
Very, very....
Demi-semi-quaverous
Very long ride
I keep on moving now until I reach the end.
But I'm not moving 'cos I'm looking for revenge.
And I'm not moving 'cos a friend of mine crossed me.
I'll just keep moving till I get you the fuck off me.
It's gonna take nerve.
It's gonna take real nerve.
It's gonna take more than you ever, ever, ever,
Thought it could.
Very long ride, it's a very long ride.
Very long ride, it's a long ride.
Very long ride, it's a very long ride.
Very long ride, it's a long ride.
Very long ride, it's a very long ride.
Very long ride, it's a long ride.
