RIDE TO TOMORROW
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
E
I. so long ago
I had a home
A
with water that
E B7
flowed hot and cold,
E
a roof and floor,
locks on the door,
A
a perfect home
E
for men growing old.
A
one morning
E
I saw time through my window.
A
a wagon train
with horses came
B7
to ride to tomorrow.
E
II. a crazy man
they say I am
A
to leave my home
E B7
and ride the storm.
E
but I'd rather pain
of freezing rain
A
than freezing me
E
and riding the norm.
A
this morning
E
we saw life stabilizin'.
A
yesterday's air
drove us from there
B7
to chase the horizon,
A
CHORUS A: to ride to tomorrow.
B7
they may say
E B7
today is just made for you.
A
but don't forget tomorrow
B7 E
we must build ourselves;
B7
there's no time to lose.
A E
ride to tomorrow.
E
III. the folks we pass
of ev'ry class
A
all smile and they
E B7
take our photograph.
E
they wave goodbye
and wonder why
A
they couldn't be
E
on the same path.
A
so long ago
E
I stood by the roadside.
A
but I couldn't now
that I know how
B7
that feeling is inside
/// REPEAT CHORUS A ///
A
CHORUS B: ride to tomorrow.
B7
they used to tell me,
E B7
"today is just made for you!"
A
but I found out tomorrow
B7 E
we must build ourselves;
B7
there's no time to lose.
A C#m
ride to tomorrow!
