Hard Ride Lyrics by Pantera

Power Metal

1988

[Verse 1: Anselmo]
You're in the danger zone
You can't be left alone
Your heart is in this for the ride

[Pre-Chorus 1: Anselmo]
But when it comes down to it
You spoke your mind, now you blew it
I want you when I want
And still I hear you say

[Chorus: Anselmo, Darrell, Paul, Rocker]
(Hard ride) Hard ride
(With me) With me
It's a matter of time
Before you fall down on your knees
(Hard ride) Hard ride
(Stay free) Stay free
It's a matter of time 'fore it's too late

[Verse 2: Anselmo]
The pressure's building up
You feel you've had enough
So go now... away

[Pre-Chorus 2: Anselmo]
So now I'll lay it on the table
You're feeling so unstable
I want to love you
But you seem so far away

[Chorus: Anselmo, Darrell, Paul, Rocker]
(Hard ride) Hard ride
(With me) With me
It's a matter of time
Before you fall down on your knees
(Hard ride) Hard ride
(Stay free) Stay free
It's a matter of time 'fore it's too late

[Bridge: Anselmo]
And I don't even know your name
I just want to throw you away
Get out, get out!

I never want to throw you away
But you come back every time...

[Lead: Darrell]

[Chorus: Anselmo, Darrell, Paul, Rocker]
(Hard ride) Hard ride
(With me) With me
It's a matter of time
Before you fall down on your knees
(Hard ride) Hard ride
(Stay free) Stay free
It's a matter of time 'fore it's too late

[Outro: Anselmo, Darrell, Paul, Rocker]
(Hard ride) Hard ride
(With me) With me
It's on tonight, on your life

(Hard ride) Hard ride
(Stay free) Stay free!
