Ready For The Ride
by 
Hans Theessink 
recording of 1998 
from Lifeline (Blue Groove BG-9020), 
You may own an airplane 
Fly all over the world 
Got your silver and gold 
Diamonds and pearls 
But one thing’s for certain 
When your time is up 
It’s ashes to ashes 
Dust to dust 
you can’t run, run, run, run, run 
Sure can’t hide 
When the master calls your number 
Better be ready for the ride 
Got your friends in high places 
Turn your wrongs into right 
Got your doctors and lawyers 
Girlfriends and wife 
But when that hearse comes rolling 
On your final day 
Ain’t nobody there can help you 
When they carry you away 
You may own a bank 
Mansion on the hill 
Light your cigars 
With a 100-dollar bill 
But when your race is run 
And it’s time to go 
All the money in the world 
Can’t help you no more
