Lin-Manuel Miranda - One Last Ride Lyrics






[Washington:]
Hamilton!

[Hamilton:]
Sir!

[Washington:]
I hope you're happy

[Hamilton:]
Sir, is this about the Whiskey Rebellion
In western Pennsylvania?

[Washington:]
You could've given me a word of warning

[Hamilton:]
Because it is your Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson
Who has been agitating these men

[Washington:]
Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning

[Hamilton:]
I'm sorry—what?

[Washington:]
This is expensive stuff

[Hamilton:]
The whiskey tax is very unpopular
But necessary

[Washington:]
Shh, haven't you talked enough?

[Hamilton:]
I hate to think about what Jefferson
Will do when he's no longer in this Cabinet

[Washington:]
Why?

[Hamilton:]
Imagine the damage he'll inflict
Agitating from the outside

[Washington:]
He's gonna run for president
In two years' time

[Hamilton:]
But you'll still be president, sir

[Washington:]
I won’t be president in two years’ time

[Hamilton:]
You could remain as long as you’re alive

[Washington:]
One last ride, while I'm in my prime
I'll need you by my side
while we still have time
We're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye
Say goodbye—you and I!

Let's begin
First, write my farewell address;
Madison wrote the first draft
It's a mess
Start with his words, or start from scratch

[Hamilton:]
To you, sir

[Washington:]
Hmm. Down the hatch!

[Hamilton:]
But what about the rebels
Who are mad about this whiskey?

[Washington:]
I have a plan, but it's risky

[Hamilton:]
What's your plan, sir?

[Washington:]
If I still fit in this thing

[Washington:]
We’re gonna turn around and win this thing!

[Washington/Hamilton:]
One last ride..

[Washington:]
Let's show these hellions!
I'm gonna need you..

[Washington/Hamilton:]
By my side

[Washington:]
We know from rebellions
We're gonna teach 'em
How to stay in line,
to stay in line..

[Washington/Hamilton:]
You and I!

[Washington:]
I never wanted a crown;
I never wanted to lead
But I couldn't turn my back
On a nation in need

[Hamilton:]
Sir, you were born to lead

[Washington:]
One last ride.
I'm past my prime, but I served with pride
while we still have time
We're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye
You and I

[Company:]
Western Pennsylvania
Here comes the President!

[Rebel 1:]
Oh my god!

[Company:]
Here comes the President!

[Rebel 1:]
Everybody put your guns down!

[Company:]
Here comes the President!

[Rebel 1:]
Can it really be?

[Rebel 2:]
It is! Look!

[Company:]
Here comes the President!

[Rebels:]
George Washington!

[Washington:]
You are outgunned!

[Hamilton:]
What!

[Washington:]
Outmanned!

[Hamilton:]
What!

[Washington:]
Outnumbered, outplanned!

[Hamilton:]
Pay your fucking taxes!

[Washington:]
Put your guns down on my command!

[Hamilton:]
Hand 'em over!

[Washington:]
This is Hamilton, my right-hand man

[Hamilton:]
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!

[Company:]
We're outgunned..
Outmanned..

[Hamilton:]
You hear it?

[Company:]
Outnumbered, outplanned

[Hamilton:]
now that's distilled spirits

[Company:]
by the greatest man in all of the land

[Hamilton:]
Please rise for your President

[Company:]
George Washington!

[Hamilton:]
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration
I am unconscious of intentional error
I am nevertheless
I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects
Not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors
I shall also carry with me the hope that my country
Will never cease to view them with indulgence;
And that, after...

[Washington/Hamilton:]
Forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal
The faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion
As I myself must soon be
To the mansions of rest

I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat
In which I promise myself to realize, the sweet enjoyment of partaking in the midst of my fellow-citizens
The benign influence of good laws under a free government
The ever-favorite object of my heart
And the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers

[Washington:]
One last ride

[Hamilton:]
Teach 'em how to say goodbye

[Washington:]
You and I
One last hurrah!

[Hamilton:]
History has its eyes on you!

[Washington:]
Oh, we're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye
Oh, we're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye
Teach 'em how to say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
One last ride!

  1. A.... .....

    *PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES*

  2. W.... S....

    3:40 Story of tonight motif. (For those music theory nerds around here)

  3. A.... H....

    Fun fact: President Washington died because of a closing in his throat, which closed his air pipes.
    (Sorry if it doesn’t really make sense.)

  4. Y.... A....

    Man I wish they kept this in xD

  5. U.... P....

    PAY YOUR TAXES

  6. L.... 4....

    This is making me cry super hard but laugh at the same time. I'm listening to it on Philip's 238th birthday and I have a lot of emotions right now and I'm bawling my eyes out and crying "Don't leave us Washingtdad." I am very (very very very very very) attached to men who died two hundred years ago.

  7. z.... p....

    PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES

    That's a whole Hamilton mood if I ever heard one.

  8. S.... A....

    PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES

  9. C.... 8....

    Pay your fucking taxes

  10. m.... ....

    I seriously didn't know there was more to this song bc every animatic for it only includes those 40 seconds. You know which ones.

  11. N.... _....

    Where the hell did this come from and why have I never heard it before

  12. H.... [....

  16. S.... A....

    Best song ever

  17. C.... ....

    Honestly One Last Time is great, but I wish they had used this instead.

    Hamilton screaming is my new religion

  19. L.... 4....

    This is perfect why would they cut it?!?

  20. K.... J....

    For those of you wondering what the fuck this song is, I believe it is based off of the Whiskey strike where people made whiskey and didn’t pay taxes to the government and the government published a whiskey ban

  21. A.... J....

    i have never heard this song before and i am genuinely crying from laughter this is the funniest shit

  22. D.... T....

    Please tell me this is actually in the musical

    D.... T....

    It was replaced with "One Last Time", I love both versions, although, I am fond of Hamilton having a melt down on stage with the
    *"bWuH BwUh bwuh!!!*

  23. B.... D....

    I originally thought this was a mix of One Last Time and Do You Wanna Ride-

  24. L.... K....

    HERE COMES THE PRESIDENT!

    L.... K....

    Science Kiki
    OH - MY - GOD

  25. A.... P....

    Hamilton: *_PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES-_*

  60. J.... C....

    So i was listening to a hamilton mix and the world was wide enough and i start tearing up and then this comes up

  61. K.... F....

    The part at 2:50 started playing as my mom was yelling at me and I was trying so hard not to laugh...Oh boy 😂

  62. F.... o....

    My friend sent this to be with no context I thought it was a normal Hamilton song I just hadn't heard until about half way through I fucking died

  63. y.... ....

    THIS CANT BE R E A L HAHAHAH

  64. s.... ....

    is- is ham okay

  65. e.... ....

    "I hope you're happy"
    "I hope you're happy too"
    OOPS WRONG MUSICAL

  66. B.... D....

    When lil Manuel meets Trump he has to tell him to "pay his f***king taxes."

    B.... D....

    Baylor Diamond 😂😂😂

  67. s.... ....

    TO YOU SIR

    *slorp*

  68. k.... n....

    2:54 *I AM DEAD*

  69. Y.... *....

    this is hamilton, my worst hype man

  70. S.... B....

    It's cool he added the 'da da da' thing that's usually in king george's songs and then right after put george washington's letter. George Washington stepped down because he didn't want to be viewed as a king, but the ensemble doing that symbolises the king. Pretty cool

  71. A.... G....

    P A Y Y O U R F U C K I N G T A X E S

  72. e.... ....

    *P A Y Y O U R F U C K I N G T A X E S!*

  73. s.... o....

    PAY THE F*CKING TAXES

  74. A.... V....

    Now I understand the difference between Broadway and off Broadway hahahahahhahaha

  75. A.... V....

    Off Broadway was crazy

  76. L.... !....

    Is litterally gonna comment about 1:19 *SLURP* D O W N T H E H A T C H

  77. S.... T....

    PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES

  78. L.... �....

    Though this is hilarious, allow us to look at it from a more serious perspective.

    This song actually talks about how Washington really didn't want to lead again, which is something they don't really mention. This really properly reflects his frustration as a President. He was a good leader, but the best leaders get tired.

    Plus some of the harmonizing that doesn't actually have words is gorgeous. The nananas give me chills man.

  79. C.... A....

    I understand why this was cut

  80. t.... 1....

    I hate Hamilton

  81. �.... �....

    ITS BEEN 3 YEARS AND IVE NEVER HEARD THIS WTF

  82. F.... i....

    This proves Alex was secretly a royalist and it was higly rumoured and it was an idea as soon as they alected george

  83. L.... H....

    I’ll never forget when this played out loud in my art class

  84. S.... ....

    We were robbed

  85. b.... l....

    "PAY YOUR F****ING TAXES" is my new catchphrase

  86. E.... T....

    Ngl in my Hamilton phase I never knew this existed and I’m kinda glad I came here

  87. r.... 1....

    omg! pay your fucking taxes!!! thought is was a joke but its absolutely hilarious

  88. C.... ....

    2:53 :)

  89. S.... W....

    2:39 Is amazing

  90. I.... R....

    *Bwah Bwah Bwah Bwah Bwah*

  91. U.... ....

    this sounds like one of those song parody memes that were made of hamilton except its Real

  92. a.... ....

    Washington: This is Hamilton



    Hamilton: *B U C K X 4*

  93. J.... G....

    Starting at 2:50 it sounds like hes screaming to an old man and the man cant hear him cuz hes old

  94. S.... ....

    Kinda glad this didn’t make it. It would take away the beauty of One Last Time.

  95. a.... s....

    2:54 your welcome

    also 3:00 i’m WHEEZING

  96. A.... N....

    George sounds different...
