Lyrics Casey's Last Ride - 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
corridors
Of
silent
desperation,
never
speakin'
to
a
soul
The
poison
air
he's
breathin'
has
the
dirty
smell
of
dying
'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've
seen
you"
"Here,"
she
said,
"Just
a
kiss
to
make
a
body
smile"
"See,"
she
said,
"I've
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
goin'
home
Standin'
in
the
corner,
Casey
drinks
his
pint
of
bitter
Never
glancing
in
the
mirror
at
the
people
passing
by
Then
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
fam'ly
of
your
own"
"Still,"
she
said,
"It's
so
blessed
good
to
feel
your
body"
"Lord,"
she
said,
"Casey,
it's
a
shame
to
be
alone"
