Down in my heart I pray
On my train one day
(Ooh Lord)
I raised myself up almost
Dig it on your knees sometimes
Ride over backwards
What it is
(Let me ride)
The earth ain't round
Sometimes you even gotta pray
And I said
If you never been to school
Sometimes I feel like I'm going down
Let me ride
Ride over backwards
Don't know, don't know what it is
Slide over backwards
He worked since he was 5
Ride over backwards
Going down, going down for the very last time
Teach yourself to fly
Ride over backwards
Let me ride
New Orleans ain't a place to live
Going down, going down for the very last time
Lived on po'boys too
(Let me ride)
I wonder what it takes to be
Let me ride
Ride over backwards
I was just a little girl
Slide over backwards
Slide over backwards
Ride over backwards
(Sometimes you gotta be free)
Lord knows, Lord knows
Daddy was a working man
16 years or more I had
Slide over backwards
He dropped his wings
Ride over backwards
Let me ride
Sometimes I feel like I'm going down
Slide over backwards
Yeah, some days in a lifetime you gotta be strong
Ride over backwards
Slide over backwards
Slide over backwards
Ride over backwards
And never learned to fly
Ride over backwards
Some days in lifetime you gotta be brave
Someone who knows why
Unless you can
(Ooh yeah)
Nothing left to say
(People gotta tell you)
A-making my own way
(And I said)
Sometimes, sometimes I feel like I'm going down
Oh, don't know what it is, don't know what it is
Slide over backwards
Let me ride
Ride over backwards
Ride over backwards
Let me ride
(People gotta tell you)
Sometimes, sometimes I feel like I'm going down
