Artist/Band: Johnny Cash
Lyrics for Song: Casey's Last Ride
Lyrics for Album: Johnny Cash Icons [2010]



Casey joins the hollow sound

Of silent people walking down

The stairway to the subway

In the shadows down below



Following the footsteps

Through the neon darkened corridors

Of silent desperation

Never speakin' to a soul



The poisoned air he's breathin'

Has the dirty smell of dyin'

'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 turnstile

And the rattle of his chain



"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 bones



Seein' his reflection

In the lives of all the lonely men

Who reach for anything they can

To keep from goin' home



Standing in the corner

Casey drinks his pint of bitter

Never glancin' in the mirror

At the people passin' by



Then he stumbles as he's leavin'

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

"Casey it's a shame to be alone"
