Intro: C  F  C  F
       C  F  C  F

       C            F       C   F
It's another lonely evening
     F             A#   F   A#
In another lonely town
      G                   C
But I ain't too young to worry
       A#                F
And I ain't too old to cry
        C             F   C   F
When a woman gets me down

      C            F     C   F
Got another empty bottle
      F            A#   F   A#
And another empty bed
       G              C
Ain't too young to admit it
         A#             F
And I'm not too old to lie
           C            F   C   F
I'm just another empty head

                F      F
That's why I'm lonely
        F#     F#
I'm so lonely

        G                     G
But I know what I'm going to do

Chorus:
           F   C   C
I'm gonna ride on
 C   G   G
Ride on
  F   C   C
(Ride on) Standing on the edge of the road
  A#  F   F
(Ride on) Thumb in the air
  F   C   C
(Ride on) One of these days
C           G             G
I'm gonna change my evil ways, huh
F                        F
 Till then I'll just keep
F          F
 Riding on

C  F  C  F
C  F  C  F

C                  F   C   F
 Broke another promise
    F                A#    F    A#
And I broke another heart
      G                      C
But I ain’t too young to realize
       A#                 F
That I ain’t too old to try
        C                F   C   F
Try to get back to the start

           C                F        C   F
And it's another red-light nightmare
            F                  A#   F   A#
Woah, an' another red-light street
      G                 C
And I ain’t too old to hurry
        A#                F
Cause I ain’t too old to die
       C       F          C   F
But I sure am hard to beat

         F      F
But I'm lonely
          F#     F#
Lord I'm lonely

G          G
   What am I gonna do?

Chorus:
  F   C   C
(Ride on)
 C    G   G
(Ride on) Got myself a one-way ticket
  F   C   C
(Ride on)
  A#  F   F
(Ride on) Goin' the wrong way
  F   C   C
(Ride on) Gonna change my evil ways
  C   G   G
(Ride on) One of these days
F                  F
  One of these days

(Ride on) One of these days
