Ry Cooder
Ridin’ With the Blues
[Verse 1]
It's gettin'-out time down at the high school
We're checking out all the little cheerleaders like you
With your cheerleadin' dress and your cheerleadin' shoes
Step over here baby and shake hands with the blues
Ol' blues like to ride in my Cadillac
Likes to get up in front and ease down in back
Slide over here baby, this ain't what you think
Ol' blues gonna drive while I get us a drink

[Chorus]
Now baby you can ride with me
Hope you don't mind bein' free
So pull up your dress, kick off your shoes
'Cause we're gonna have a god time ridin' with the blues

[Verse 2]
Now we're gonna take a ride and see an old friend of mine
Do a little business down on the state line
If it don't feel right, we'll bust right through
Hang on tight, baby, you're ridin' with the blues
If the police ask better give 'em the slip
Tell 'em you been down on a high school field trip
If your teachers been wonderin' just where you been gone
Tell 'em you're learnin' the blues from now on
[Chorus]
Pull up your dress and kick off your shoes
We're gonna have a real good time ridin' with the blues

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
Well baby you can ride with me
I hope you don't mind bein' free
So pull up your dress and kick off your shoes
'Cause we're gonna have a god time ridin' with the blues

[Outro]
Ridin' with the blues
Ridin' with the blues
Ridin' with the blues
Ridin' with the blues
Ridin' with the blues
Ridin' with the blues
