Ride Captain Ride
Blues Image Lyrics

Ride, captain, ride
Upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends
You have here on your trip
Ride, captain, ride
Upon your mystery ship
On your way to a world
That others might have missed

Seventy-three men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay
Got off their ship and here's what they had to say
We're calling everyone to ride along
To another shore
We can laugh our lives away
And be free once more

Ride, captain, ride
Upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at those friends
You have here on your trip
Ride, captain, ride
Upon your mystery ship
On your way to a world
That others might have missed
Ride, captain, ride
Upon your mystery ship

Be amazed at the friends
You have here on your trip

The lyrics of Blues Image's "Ride Captain Ride" tell the story of seventy-three men who sailed from the San Francisco Bay on a mystery ship, calling out for everyone to come along and seek a new, free life on another shore. However, no one heard their call as they were too busy watching the raindrops fall during a storm that was brewing on the sea. The men make their way on their mystery ship with nothing but the wind to guide them towards a world that others might have missed. The chorus of the song repeats the captain's call to ride on his mystery ship, where his friends will be amazed at the journey ahead.

The song can be interpreted in different ways, but it is often seen as a metaphor for seeking a new journey, adventure, or opportunities in life. It encourages listeners to take a chance and embark on a new path, despite fear or uncertainty about the future. It is ultimately a song about hope and the pursuit of a better life.

Seventy-three men sailed up
73 individuals arrived from the San Francisco Bay on a vessel

From the San Francisco Bay
Traveling from the Bay area of San Francisco

Rolled off of their ship and here's what they had to say
They disembarked their vessel and expressed their message

We're calling everyone to ride along
Inviting everyone to join them on their journey

To another shore
To a different place or destination

Where we can laugh our lives away
A place where they can be carefree and happy

And be free once more
A place where they can escape from their current circumstances and feel liberated

But no one heard them calling
Their call went unnoticed

No one came at all
No one responded to their invitation

'Cause they were too busy watching those old raindrops fall
People were preoccupied with mundane things, like watching rain fall

As a storm was blowing
Meanwhile, a storm was brewing

Out on the peaceful sea
Despite the turbulence on the sea, it seemed peaceful compared to the chaos of people's lives

Ride, captain, ride
Encouraging the captain to lead the way

Upon your mystery ship
On their enigmatic vessel

Be amazed at the friends
They should be astonished by the people they will encounter on their journey

You have here on your trip
Referring to passengers and crew of the ship

On your way to a world
Heading to a new and possibly unfamiliar place

That others might have missed
A place that has yet to be discovered by others
