Ride On
AC/DC (Australien) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
I'm just another empty head
That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep dragging on
Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat
But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do
Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days
Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on
The song "Ride On" by AC/DC is a classic rock song about a man who is going through a difficult time, feeling lonely and disconnected from the world. He is in another lonely town, with another empty bottle and bed, and feeling remorseful about his broken promises and relationships. He is at a crossroads in his life, unsure of what to do next.
The lyrics depict a man who is on the verge of giving up, but decides to keep going, to "ride on" despite his hardships. He stands on the edge of the road, with his thumb in the air, looking for a ride. He is going in the wrong direction, but he knows that he needs to change his ways and start over. It's a song about resilience, determination, and hope even in the darkest of times.
The song features Brian Johnson's powerful vocals, backed by the band's signature heavy guitar riffs and drums. It's a slow, bluesy ballad that's different from the band's usual hard rock sound, but still showcases their talent and versatility. The song has become a fan favorite and a staple of their live performances.

It's another lonely evening
I'm spending another evening alone
And another lonely town
I'm travelling in another place where I have no company
But I ain't too young to worry
I'm old enough to have concerns
And I ain't too old to cry
I'm still young enough to shed tears
When a woman gets me down
When I get hurt by a woman
Got another empty bottle
I have another empty bottle of alcohol
And another empty bed
I'm sleeping alone again
Ain't too young to admit it
I'm mature enough to confess it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm not too old to tell lies
I'm just another empty head
I'm clueless and lost
That's why I'm lonely
That's the reason why I feel lonely
I'm so lonely
I feel extremely lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do
But I have a plan in mind
I'm gonna ride on
I'm going to keep moving forward
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride while waiting for a ride at the roadside
Ride on, thumb in the air
Hitchhiking while I ride on
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Keep riding on and one day I'll
Ride on, change my evil ways
Ride until I change my bad habits
Till then I'll just keep dragging on
Until then, continue on with the struggle
Broke another promise
I couldn't keep another commitment
And I broke another heart
I caused hurt and breakup for someone else
But I ain't too young to realize
But I'm wise enough to recognize
That I ain't too old to try
I'm still keen to make an effort
Try to get back to the start
Try to rewind back to the beginning
And it's another red light nightmare
And red traffic lights keep slowing me down
Another red light street
Another location full of red lights, as in nightclubs, casinos, etc.
And I ain't too old to hurry
I'm energetic enough to run fast
Cause I ain't too old to die
Because I'm aware that I could die anytime
But I sure am hard to beat
But I'm resilient and tough
But I'm lonely
But I still feel lonely
Lord I'm lonely
I'm very lonely, God help me
What am I gonna do
I don't know what to do
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on with a ticket that can't be changed
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on despite being on the wrong path
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride till I transform into a better person
Ride on, one of these days
Ride on and someday
Ride on
Just carry on riding
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride while searching for a large vehicle to get a ride
Ride on, keep on riding
Keep on riding on without taking a rest
Riding on and on and on
Continuing to ride non-stop

Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on
