Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh
There's no need to feel low down
Or just because you ride this train
That woman's a banker, he's a lawyer
Over there a millionaire
An d they're riding
it just the same
Everyone rides the blue line
That's a ride that can give
them their own time
Poor man spends a dollar,
rich man saves a dime
Everyone rides the blue line
I knew a highbrow who told me
He'd never be caught dead on a train
Well his wife left him and
he hit the skids
She took his house, his car,
and left him with the kids.
Now he got to ride the blue line.
It's the only ride that can
get him there on time.
Six kids kicking, they're screaming,
they're crying.
But he got to ride the blue line.
I called my buddy,
I hit him up for a ride
He said he couldn't do it,
so I said screw it
He ain't no friend of mine
I'm gonna ride the blue line,
Gets me there on time.
Got no worries or troubles,
I'm gonna ride the blue line.
Not everybody ridin'
is tryin' to make some special date
Look at the old folks up front
playin' dominoes and gin
They don't care where
they're goin'
Probably where they've been
They don't make appointments,
they're just talking with their friends.
They want to ride that blue line.
They don't care if they
get somewhere on time.
They don't care about
im portant deadlines.
They like to ride the blue line.
Let them ride, ride, ride, ride.
Don't look back, baby, just ride.
If you got to go somewhere,
get off the train, get out the way,
please let the old folk
s ride.
Yeah, everybody rides the blue line.
I mean everybody.
Look over there,
I went to high school with that girl.
It was one of my mom's best friends.
Look at that, my guardian angel.
Oh, there's his parole officer.
I mean, oh, there's his parole officer.
Hey, come over here, kid.
You know, I knew you
when your grandpa was
just a little baby.
Hey, wipe that smile off your arm.
Who you calling crazy, you nut?
