Madeline rode away last night
On a rockin' horse
Straight into the pale moonlight
Make beleive of course
What's a little girl of eight
Supposed to do when she's up so late
She can't sleep 'cause it sounds like hate
Comin' from her momma and daddy's room
Chorus:
Ride on, ride on
Out to where it don't hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was before
Momma cried and your daddy cussed
Now all they ever seem to do is fuss
Ride on
Tommy Lee's got a space machine
He keeps her ready on the launchin' pad
'Cause there've been times he has seen
An alien invade his dad
So he heads out for the stars
Past the moon and straight to mars
What about the invisible scars
That come in the bottle that his daddy brings home
Chorus:
Ride on, ride on
Out to where it don't hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was before
Her momma left, her daddy changed
Now you don't even know who's to blame
Ride on
Bridge:
Some people just lose control
Some people hit overload
Some people are like some people
They never thought they'd be
Now why can't we all see
The only anadote
The only way to cope
The only true hope
Is love
Chorus:
Everybody, won't you
Ride on, ride on
Out to where it don't hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was before
Go ahead and trust your faith
There's still a lot of hope
It's never too late
So ride on the wings of love
Ride on
