Let it Ride All the Way Into the Yonder

the greatest truth is a bummer to a lot of folks
it puts the end to the laughter and the jokes
when it all comes down
no one will come around
it puts the end to the laughter and the jokes

the greatest lie gets people to stand and clap
they're selling heaven, they'll even give you a map
it fills the flock with hope
so they won't feel like dopes
they're selling heaven, they'll even give you a map

let it ride all the way into the yonder
let it ride all the way to eternity
clutch your heart, feel the glory
a really bloody story
let it ride all the way to eternity

the greatest moment came in the greatest loss
putting in the nails was quite a cost
pounding flesh into the spirit
you'd best not get too near it
putting in the nails was quite a cost

a road was paved to the kingdom of the lord
here comes that bus, you better climb aboard
sing praises to the sky
and kiss your ass goodbye
here comes that bus, you better climb aboard

let it ride all the way into the yonder
let it ride all the way to eternity
clutch your heart, feel the glory
a really bloody story
let it ride all the way to eternity

the greatest truth is a bummer to a lot of folks
it puts the end to the laughter and the jokes
when it all comes down
no one will come around
it puts the end to the laughter and the jokes

the greatest lie gets people to stand and clap
they're selling heaven, they'll even give you a map
it fills the flock with hope
so they won't feel like dopes
they're selling heaven, they'll even give you a map

let it ride all the way into the yonder
let it ride all the way to eternity
clutch your heart, feel the glory
a really bloody story
let it ride all the way to eternity
