Rhonda's Last Ride lyrics

She was found in her bedroom with a note on the wallSaying take me or leave me, it don't matter now at allHer passing made the papers though there weren't much to sayJust a girl of the night takes her life at middayShe was fond of the ladies and good to the menAnd she could take you 'bout anywhere that you'd never beenThough I never touched her we'd walk every dayHeading west down Sunset talking our lives awaySaid she could walk on the waterbed, shoot out the lightsTake you up to the limits, push you over the lineSaid if you wanna see God, brother, close your eyes...This one's for Rhonda's last rideThere's a town in Nevada, just across the state lineWhere Rhonda grew up ahead of her timeWhy, if I had to say, it's her daddy to blameOld desert rat Cody set her childhood to flameAnd there were GI's and truckers and ghosts of the roadOn their way up to Vegas they'd lighten their loadThere was many a lover but nary complainedAnd it was many a man who'd call out her nameI'm not here to tel
l you she died out of shameIn her last chosen moment, her lips cursed no nameNot Cody nor Jesus, not a cry out for loveShe told me to tell you that leaving's enough
