Rundgren, Todd - The Last Ride Lyrics
It's the last ride
Our little game is over
It's the last ride
It's time to take you home
And we can't cry 'cause we seen it coming
It's a dangerous drive
I'm afraid to arrive
But I strive to survive
More a fool than alive
I thought I knew just everything
I had it made and I could coast
But I turned away love when I needed it most
It's the last ride
It's the last ride
It's time to take me home
And I can't cry 'cause I seen it coming
No use running, take it slower
And the road rolls around
And turns through the town
The depression drips down
And glazes the ground
Horizons east and skylines west
The moon, the sun, and all the rest
The loving son, the faithful wife
The burnt out wreck of a poor man's life
The father, son, and holy ghost
They all turned away love when they needed it most
It's the last ride
Their little game is over
It's the last ride
It's time to take them home
And they can't cry 'cause they seen it coming
No use running, take it slower

Rundgren, Todd The Last Ride Comments
Folks, this track is from an album he recorded in 1974. Mr. Rundgren played several instruments on the album, though not all. For most of us older folks, this song is our Todd anthem. And he knows it. View his commencement speech for Julliard, if you haven't.
Classic Marvin Gaye!
My best friend Dave had this played at his funeral, 09 Nov 19.
One of the greatest songs ever!
Listen people now is the time to vote TODD RUNDGren into the rock and roll hall of fame for 2020

It's the last ride
Our little game is over
It's the last ride
It's time to take you home
And we can't cry 'cause we seen it coming
No use running, take it slower
It's a dangerous drive
I'm afraid to arrive
But I strive to survive
More a fool than alive
I thought I knew just everything
I had it made and I could coast
But I turned away love when I needed it most
It's the last ride
My little game is over
It's the last ride
It's time to take me home
And I can't cry 'cause I seen it coming
No use running, take it slower
And the road rolls around
And turns through the town
The depression drips down
And glazes the ground
Horizons east and skylines west
The moon, the sun, and all the rest
The loving son, the faithful wife
The burnt out wreck of a poor man's life
The father, son, and holy ghost
They all turned away love when they needed it most
It's the last ride
Their little game is over
It's the last ride
It's time to take them home
And they can't cry 'cause they seen it coming
No use running, take it slower
God how I miss the 20th Century
You and me both, Doc. There's nothing like it.
The guitar work on this reaches the outermost part of the known universe.
Jefferey Blagus clarinet
@Jonathan Helle It is apparently a soprano saxaphone, killer sound either way.
This song changed Daryl Hall's life when he heard this. Changed all of our lives.
Rundgren helped produced Hall & Oates back in the day! They are from Philly
Going back to work on Tuesday, long hours, and my little vacation is over.
same exact situation for me......completely bummed.
Purely GENIUS
What a great song. TODD, how long did it take you to write this? To record this? I find it amazing. I still have not found out who played the clarinet (?) solo. Something about this song makes me sad as if we all know what is coming.
Barry Bedkey *soprano sax
Actually Peter Ponzol on soprano sax!!
yes, Peter Ponzol. Great solo.
