Now that I have lived
A lifetime`s worth of days
Finally I see
The folly of my ways

So listen when I sing of
The temptations of this world
Fancy cars and needles
Whisky, flesh and pearls

And then in the end
It`s family and friends
Loving yourself
But not only yourself
It`s about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you`ve made cry
It`s about make a little music everyday `til you
di-ie

Beautiful ride (Chorus)

As I stand on the precipice of death
My perspective is enormous
Every leaf, every cloud
I see the hands which have formed us
And some days all you got
Is a nighttime graveyard walk
And you whistle some sweet melody
To the ghosts down at the dock

It`s about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you`ve made cry
It`s about make a little music everyday `til you
di-ie

Beautiful ride(Chorus)

(bridge--)

Sing in to your hand
Lead the marching band
Don`t you let `em fade your colors gray
`Cause when all is said and done
When youth is spent and burned
You`ll see that it`s all about
Music!
Flowers!
Babies!
Sharing the good times!
Traveling not just for business!
Excepting your mortality!
This` is finally what I`ve learned!

And then in the end
It`s family and friends
Loving yourself
But not only yourself
It`s about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you`ve made cry
It`s about make a little music everyday `til you
di-ie

Beautiful ride

(Chorus - 2x)
