You see that grey-haired man
By the window
He ain't half as old
As he looks
Barely aware that his wife
Has left him
He won't see his
Children grow up
Chorus:
Ridin' the Red-Eye
You can't take this
Ride all the way
Ridin' the Red-Eye
Whoa, it'll k** you
One day
You see that girl
So young and pretty
She don't know she'll be
Gettin' off soon
She'll take anything
To stay on the Red-Eye
She don't see she's got
It all to lose
I'm sick and tired of hearin' why
I should get on board
That old Red-Eye
To find myself surrounded
By dealers, drunks
And wasted lives
Overdoses, bitter tears
I want a sharp mind
And my vision clear
Gonna look at life
Right in the eye
Gonna make damn sure
It don't pa** me by
Only two ways
To get off the Red-Eye
One's good
And the other one ain't
One leaves you
Six feet under
One gives you
A chance again
Get off the Red-Eye
You can't take this
Ride all the way
Ridin' the Red-Eye
Whoa, it'll k** you
One day
