The Allman Brothers Band - Let Me Ride lyrics

Well now times got hard
And I didn't draw the card I needed
So I proceeded to bang it on down the line
Hitchhike, turnpike
And if you got room won't you let me ride?
Just as far as you're going
And lord knowing I'll be much obliged

There was a light rain falling
I started recalling how lonesome a man can be
Feeling a chill When over the hill
Came a brand new baby blue Cadillac
Stop on a dime i threw my guitar in the
Back and I climbed inside
Big Blue eyes said "Hey boy
Don't you want a ride?"

I Said to Birmingham, Alabama
Or to Nashville Tennessee will do
Just fine with me
Don't you know what I mean?


I'm coming from New Orleans now hey (na na)
Mama won't you let me ride?

Well now black fur coat, diamond ring
Shining like something I ain't ever seen
My old guitar and a roadside bar
Walked in the door looking like a movie queen
There was a honky tonk jukebox
Hardwood floor she said "I ain't ever seen
Nothing like this before"
I said, "That's all right
Mama won't you let me ride?"

On down to Birmingham, Alabama
Or to Nashville Tennessee wiil
Do fine with me don't you know what I mean?
I'm coming from New Orleans now hey (na na)
Mama won't you let me ride?
