He took the picture from the wall   And handed it to me and swirled   I said I done nothing wrong   I was framed all along      Now they lied right from the start   When they stole my lonely heart   In the picture that you hold   Lies the hidden truth untold      Chorus   And I was just along for the ride   Where the train’s bound I don’t know   But I’ll ride   I just wanted to go   Farther than I’d been   Now I’m along for the ride again      It was a long cold rainy day   They kept their smiles at bay   Oh to them it was just a game   To play with my life this way      When the first man drew his gun   Silence befell everyone   Oh but a girl she ran for the door   And he gunned her down to the floor      Now we grabbed the loot and we rode   For the posse would soon be formed   Oh but the girl she laid so cold   As pale as the untouched snow      Chorus   I was just along for the ride   Where the train’s bound I don’t know   But I’ll ride   I just wanted to go   Farther than I’d been   Now I’m along for the ride again      We’d ride thru rain and snow   Not knowing just which way to go   Oh but this would be my last ride   I’d take my leave tonight      And the day before we were found   In a picture we all gathered round   Four men and a lie   I was the only one that was blind      Oh now I sit in this cell   I’m waiting my day in hell   So boy you listen good   There ain’t no refuge in the hood      Oh and there’s nobody to blame   I’m a fool of my own acclaim    Yeah I thought I’d been so wise   But these men proved my demise      And the train moves down the line   For a different town each night   Oh in search of a boy like me   In search of a youth in need      Chorus   I was just along for the ride   Where the trains’ bound I don’t know   But I’ll ride   I just wanted to go   Farther than I’d been   Now I’m along for the ride again
