Peggy Sue rode away last night
On a rocking horse
Straight into the pale moonlight
Make believe of courseBut whats a little girl of eight
Supposed to do when shes up so late
She cant sleep cause it sounds like hate
Coming from her momma and daddys roomRide on, ride on
Out to where it dont hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was beforeYour momma left and your daddy cussed
All they ever seem to do is fuss, ride onTommy Lees got a space machine
He keeps it ready on the launching pad
Cause there have been times that he has seen
An alien invade his dadSo he heads out for the stars
Past the moon and straight to Mars
But what about the invisible scars
That come in a bottle that his daddy brings homeRide on, ride on
Out to where it dont hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was beforeYour momma left and your daddy changed
You dont even know whos to blame, so ride onSome people just lose control, some people hit overload
Some people act like some people, they never thought theyd be
So why cant we all see the only antidote, the only way to cope
The only true hope is love, so everybody wont youRide on, ride on
Out to where it dont hurt no more
Ride on, come on
Back to how it was beforeGo ahead and test your faith
Theres still a lot of hope, its never too late
To ride on the wings of love, ride on
