Fast Eddie, Ride On
G-bend e*4, F, C, D, Am, C/D , E, G-bend e*4
Ride on, Fast Eddie; ride on,
Just too tough to cry, when the game has let you down
You’re in the mood,
but,
You’re too ignorant to know when you’re licked,
Don’t know when to stop, behind or ahead,
Been the problem, all along,
Livin in another broken nightmare, tryin to reach out for a star
Don’t be too much in a hurry,
To get to these, pool halls of, smoke filled rooms,
Liquor & women a fast fix,
Just another young empty head,
Ride on Eddie, Ride on; Better let it ride on,
Too old to run home, too young to let it bleed,
Too old to learn another trick,
Still too young to care,
Let it go down slowly,
Let her Ride on an on, Fast Eddie, Let the game Ride on
Let it bleed;
Your too young to worry,
an still too old to learn to cry
Another broken heart waited at home,
Well we been here most of 3 days,
Trying to work me, most your money gone
Ride on, Fast Eddie; Ride on,
Always… Always another game,
Ride on toward, for, another time
Ride on, Fast Eddie; ride on,
Just too tough to cry, when the game has let you down
You’re in the mood,
but,
You’re too ignorant to know when you’re licked,
Don’t know when to stop, behind or ahead,
Been the problem, all along,
Livin in another broken nightmare, tryin to reach out for a star
Don’t be too much in a hurry,
To get to these, pool halls of, smoke filled rooms,
Liquor & women a fast fix,
Just another young empty head,
Ride on Eddie, Ride on; Better let it ride on,
Too old to run home, too young to let it bleed,
Too old to learn another trick,
Still too young to care,
Let it go down slowly,
Let her Ride on an on, Fast Eddie, Let the game Ride on
Let it bleed;
Your too young to worry,
an still too old to learn to cry
Another broken heart waited at home,
Well we been here most of 3 days,
Trying to work me, most your money gone
Ride on, Fast Eddie; Ride on,
Always… Always another game,
Ride on toward, for, another time

i could easily relate this to a couple of my favorite singer/songwriters---the state of a lover affair gone sour is so common to all genres of music

Bach as in the composer? I am doing better today---been battling with asthma, which I thought I had outgrown, until I moved to Oregon.

Bachelor Degree for I/T, concentrations in Web Media and Software Engineering... Hehehe... Asthma, my wife has that very badly, been hospitilized for it 4 times in the last year in a half... I have found that making her Lemon water, in the mornin and at night helps her a lot, also I put honey and Cinnamon on toast for her, it helps to keep the air ways calm and not inflamed... would recommend checking otu lemon water cures, and honey cinnamon cures, got those from Harvard University Website for health science class that had to take... your friend: wolf / Eddie
