One Last Ride

Lyrics

[WASHINGTON] I hope you're happy [HAMILTON] Sir, is this about the Whiskey Rebellion In western Pennsylvania? [WASHINGTON] You could've given me a word of warning [HAMILTON] Because it is your Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson Who has been agitating these men [WASHINGTON] Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning [HAMILTON] I'm sorry, what? [WASHINGTON] This is expensive stuff [HAMILTON] The whiskey tax is very unpopular, but necessary [WASHINGTON] Shh. Haven't you talked enough? [HAMILTON] I hate to think about what Jefferson will do When he's no longer in this Cabinet [WASHINGTON] Why? [HAMILTON] Imagine the damage he'll inflict Agitating from the outside [WASHINGTON] He's gonna run for president in two years time [HAMILTON] But you'll still be president, sir [WASHINGTON] I won't be president in two years time [HAMILTON] You could remain as long as you're alive [WASHINGTON] One last ride While I'm in my prime I'll need you by my side While we still have time We're gonna teach them how to say goodbye Say goodbye You and I Let's begin First, write my farewell address; Madison wrote the first draft, it's a mess Start with his words or start from scratch [HAMILTON] To you, sir [WASHINGTON] Hmm. Down the hatch! [HAMILTON] Now, what about the rebels Who are mad about their whiskey? [WASHINGTON] I have a plan, but it's risky [HAMILTON] What is your plan, sir? [WASHINGTON] If I still fit in this thing We're gonna turn around and win this thing! [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] One last ride [WASHINGTON] Let's show these hellions! I'm gonna need you [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] By my side [WASHINGTON] We know from rebellions We're gonna teach them how to stay in line, How to stay in line [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] You and I [WASHINGTON] Hey, hey [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] Hey! [WASHINGTON] I never wanted a crown I never wanted to lead But I couldn't turn my back On a nation in need [HAMILTON] Sir, you were born to lead [WASHINGTON] One last ride I'm past my prime But I served with pride While we still have time We're gonna teach them how to say goodbye You and I [COMPANY] Western Pennsylvania Here comes the President! [REBEL 1] Oh my god! [COMPANY] Here comes the President! [REBEL 1] Everybody put your guns down! [COMPANY] Here comes the President! [REBEL 1] Can it really be? [REBEL 2] It is! Look! [COMPANY] Here comes the President! [REBELS] George Washington! [WASHINGTON] You are outgunned! [HAMILTON] What! [WASHINGTON] Outmanned! [HAMILTON] What! [WASHINGTON] Outnumbered, outplanned! [HAMILTON] Pay your fucking taxes! [WASHINGTON] Put your guns down on my command! [HAMILTON] Hand 'em over! [WASHINGTON] This is Hamilton, my right-hand man [HAMILTON] Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck! [COMPANY] We're outgunned— [HAMILTON] What! [COMPANY] Outmanned— [HAMILTON] You hear it? [COMPANY] Outnumbered, outplanned [HAMILTON] Now that's distilled spirits! [COMPANY] By the greatest man in all of the land [HAMILTON] Please rise for your president [COMPANY] George Washington! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da [COMPANY] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da [COMPANY] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da [HAMILTON & HAMILTON/WASHINGTON] Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I'm nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will view them with indulgence. And that, after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal. The faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest [WASHINGTON/HAMILTON] I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat, in which I promise myself to realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking in the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers [WASHINGTON] One last ride [COMPANY] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da [HAMILTON] Teach them how to say goodbye [COMPANY] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da [WASHINGTON] You and I [COMPANY] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da [WASHINGTON] One last ride! [COMPANY] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da [HAMILTON] History has its eyes on you! [COMPANY] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da [WASHINGTON] Oh We're gonna teach them how to say goodbye [COMPANY] Teach them how to say goodbye [WASHINGTON] We're gonna teach them how to say goodbye [COMPANY] Teach them how [WASHINGTON] To say goodbye [COMPANY] To say goodbye [WASHINGTON] Say goodbye [COMPANY] Say goodbye [WASHINGTON] One last ride! [COMPANY] One last ride! [WASHINGTON] Ride!
