[Intro]
C  F/C  x4
 
[Verse 1]
       C            F/C      C  F/C
It's another lonely evening
    F/C           Bb         F/C  Bb
In another lonely town
      G5                 C5
But I ain't too young to worry
      Bb                F
And I ain't too old to cry
       C             F/C     C  F/C
When a woman gets me down
 
      C           F/C        C  F/C
Got another empty bottle
     F/C          Bb         F/C  Bb
And another empty bed
      G5              C5
Ain't too young to admit it
        Bb                F
And I'm not too old to lie
           C            F/C  C  F/C
I'm just another empty head

[Chorus]
N.C.      F    C
I'm gonna ride on

Ride on
 F    C
(Ride on) Standing on the edge of the road

(Ride on) Thumb in the air
 F    C                        C     G                         G
(Ride on) One of these days I'm gonna change my evil ways, huh
F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5
  Till then I'll just keep riding on

[Verse 2]
C             F/C       C  F/C
Broke another promise
      F/C            Bb    F/C  Bb
And I broke another heart
      G5                 C5
But I ain't too young to realize
       Bb               F
That I ain't too old to try
       C                F/C   C  F/C
Try to get back to the start
 
          C               F/C       C  F/C
And it's another red-light nightmare
        F/C             Bb      F/C  Bb
Woah, another red-light street
      G5               C5
And I ain't too old to hurry
        Bb               F
Cause I ain't too old to die
    C          F/C         C  F/C
But I sure am hard to beat
