| Little old man, little old man staring down the road
|
| Waiting on the bus, he’s getting kinda cold
|
| Bus finally gets there, he got nowhere to sit down
|
| And the driver said, «You can stand right here behind me or wait for the next one to come around»
|
| And the old man says, «That's okay, I’ll stand
|
| I might look like a little old man to you
|
| But I’ve been riding this bus for years and years and years
|
| I don’t even know where it’s going to»
|
| And the driver says, «You don’t know where this bus is going to?»
|
| Old man says, «No, I don’t, do you?»
|
| Driver says, «You don’t know where this bus is going to?»
|
| Old man says, «I just want it to get me through
|
| Hey, I’m staying on the ride, it’s gonna take me somewhere
|
| Staying on the ride, it’s gonna take me somewhere
|
| Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere»
|
| The bus is rolling along, outside it’s looking kinda strange
|
| The Earth is shaking, the clouds are breaking
|
| Everything is blue where it was gray
|
| A thousand rivers flood over fields of snow
|
| The driver looks back in the mirror for the old man
|
| «Where did he go, where did he go?
|
| Oh, there he is Hey, old man, old man, old man, you still don’t know?»
|
| And the old man says, «No, I don’t son, but I’m happy to go»
|
| Hey, «I'm staying on the ride, it’s gonna take me somewhere»
|
| Hey, he said, «I'm staying on the ride, it’s gonna take me somewhere
|
| Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
|
| I was born with no name, knowing nothing, still I don’t
|
| Somebody said, 'You need a name, I’m gonna give you a name'
|
| And I said, 'No, you won’t,'I said, 'No, you won’t'"
|
| Oh, «You can let me off here, son, thank you for the ride»
|
| And the driver said, «This is the middle of nowhere, sir,»
|
| He pulls off to the side
|
| And the old man says, «It might look that way to you, maybe it is»
|
| Old man says, «It might look that way to you, son, maybe it is,»
|
| And he says, «Stay on the ride, it’s gonna take you somewhere,»
|
| Hey, hey, he said, «Stay on the ride, it’s gonna take you somewhere
|
| Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
|
| It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere
|
| It always takes you somewhere, gotta take you somewhere
|
| It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere
|
| It always takes you somewhere, gonna take you somewhere» |
