Видео: Kris Kristofferson - Casey`s Last Ride

Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below;
Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors
Of silent desperation, never speakin` to a soul.
The poison air he`s breathin` has the dirty smell of dying
`Cause it`s never seen the sunshine and it`s never felt the rain.
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
Of the clickin` of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains.

"Oh!" she said, "Casey it`s been so long since I`ve seen you!"
"Here" she said, "just a kiss to make a body smile!"
"See" she said, "I`ve put on new stockings just to please you!"
"Lord!" she said, "Casey can you only stay a while?"

Casey leaves the under-ground and stops inside the Golden Crown
For something wet to wipe away the chill that`s on his bone.
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
Who reach for any thing they can to keep from goin` home.
Standin` in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
Then he stumbles as he`s leaving and he wonders if the reason
Is the beer that`s in his belly, or the tear that`s in his eye.

"Oh!" she said, "I suppose you seldom think about me,
"Now" she said, "now that you`ve a fam`ly of your own";
"Still" she said, "it`s so blessed good to feel your body!"
"Lord!" she said" "Casey it`s a shame to be alone!"
