Darrell Scott - Rhonda's Last Ride lyrics
[Darrell Scott - Rhonda's Last Ride lyrics]
She was found in her bedroom with
A note on the wall
Saying take me or leave me
It don't matter now at all
Her passing made the papers though
There weren't much to say
Just a girl of the night
Takes her life at midday
She was fond of the ladies
And good to the men
And she could take you 'bout
Anywhere that you'd never been
Though I never touched her
We'd walk every day
Heading west down Sunset talking
Our lives away
Said she could walk on the waterbed
Shoot out the lights
Take you up to the limit's
Push you over the line
Said if you wanna see God, brother
Close your eyes
This one's for Rhonda's last ride
There's a town in Nevada
Just across the state line
Where Rhonda grew up ahead of her time
Why, if I had to say, it's her daddy to blame
Old desert rat Cody set
Her childhood to flame
And there were GI's and truckers
And ghosts of the road
On their way up to Vegas
They'd lighten their load
Yeah there was many a
Lover but nary complained
And it was many a man who'd call out her name
Said she could walk on the waterbed
Shoot out the lights
Take you up to the limit's
Push you over the line
Said if you wanna see God, brother
Close your eyes
This one's for Rhonda's last ride
I'm not here to tell you
She died out of shame
In her last chosen moment
Her lips cursed no name
Not Cody nor Jesus, not a cry out for love
She told me to tell you that leaving's enough
Yeah she could walk on the waterbed
Shoot out the lights
Take you up to the limit's
Push you over the line
Said if you wanna see God, you wanna see God
Close your eyes
Yeah this one's for Rhonda's last ride
A note on the wall
Saying take me or leave me
It don't matter now at all
Her passing made the papers though
There weren't much to say
Just a girl of the night
Takes her life at midday
She was fond of the ladies
And good to the men
And she could take you 'bout
Anywhere that you'd never been
Though I never touched her
We'd walk every day
Heading west down Sunset talking
Our lives away
Said she could walk on the waterbed
Shoot out the lights
Take you up to the limit's
Push you over the line
Said if you wanna see God, brother
Close your eyes
This one's for Rhonda's last ride
There's a town in Nevada
Just across the state line
Where Rhonda grew up ahead of her time
Why, if I had to say, it's her daddy to blame
Old desert rat Cody set

And there were GI's and truckers
And ghosts of the road
On their way up to Vegas

And it was many a man who'd call out her name
