Ride it Out

©2014 David Moody

I’ve had a hard time believing

Good times might be coming my way

I’ve spent some hard times- just grieving

And I’ve wondered why life’s that way

Good times go when hard times come

Then you may begin to know a feeling so numb

There’s only one thing you can do

You’ve got to ride it out

I’ve been aware of your deceiving

And I’ve seen every card you had to play

Now I spend my days and nights retrieving

Golden memories of the good old days

Hard times will come when good times go

And you’ll learn some things you don’t want to know

There’s only one thing you can do

You’ve got to ride it out

I can only pray it all works out well

I’ve got my fingers crossed –

And only time will tell

I can only stay until they ring the bell

And hope I don’t get lost

After I wish you well

Because …

You have never heard how hard my heart cries,

But you won’t see any tears from my eyes

And I won’t go on believing any more of your lies

And you won’t keep deceiving me with your disguise

Surprise, surprise, surprise

You’ve got to ride it out

Surprise, surprise, surprise

We know what you’re all about

Surprise, surprise, surprise
