Lyrics

Verse 1:
I saw his old familiar limp as I drove around the curve
He stopped and turned his head he didn?t have to say a word
I opened up the door and as soon as he got in
Eugene started with his stories and what a tale he could spin

He told me how that angry bull attacked him in the stall
He barely did survive when he was thrown across the wall
Now it takes him a while to get where he?s going from where he?s been
But when he needs to hitch a ride he can always find a friend

Chorus:
And his stories always ended at the end of the ride
And his stories always ended with the same old line
Much obliged

Verse 2:
Eugene never shaved and I wondered if he bathed
But I would overlook it for the wisdom that he gave
I?d listen to his stories, then drop him off in town
And drive around the block with my windows all rolled down

Chorus:
And his stories always ended at the end of the ride
And his stories always ended with the same old line
Much obliged


Verse 3:
Eugene hitched his final ride one warm autumn day
I thought I heard him talking as we carried him away
Now when the leaves start to turn and the wind begins to blow
I still can hear his stories as I ride this country road

Chorus:
And his stories always end at the end of the ride
And his stories always end with the same old line
Much obliged

Tag:

I bet Eugene?s up in heaven with angels by his side
On their wings he tells his stories then thanks them for the ride
Much obliged
