Ride it Out

Robert James

Crap #3 of 4 that will be finished off and uploaded tonight. I did the rhythm guitar tracks for this twice because the chorus was so atrocious that I had to rewrite it on the fly. It’s better now, but that’s pretty much all this pig has going for it.

Guitars are Les Paul standard 50s and amps are all Deluxe Reverb. Rhythm pedals are Klon KTR into Wampler Plexi Drive Mini. Leads for the most part are an MXR Phase 95 into a Wren and Cuff Super Russian, but the middle eight bars of the solo at the end are the KTR into the Plexi Drive Mini.

Verse 1
depends on the day
you just have to keep it going
there’s no other way
so just try to ride it out

There’s so much decay
it seems like it’s always creeping
No time to delay
there’s no room left for your doubt

Verse 2
I can’t look away
I don’t even want to face it
Don’t care what you say
this is simply how it is

It’s just how it goes
We just have to keep on trying
and everyone knows
this is what it’s all about

Chorus
Am I taking the safe way through
I don’t know
I need someone to listen to
So far below

Why is it always out of touch
Tell me why
How could I ever take this much
Turn a blind eye
