[Verse 1]
Ended a worker, according to plan
'Cause you're just a woman and i'm just a man
Whatever the future might happen to bring
It'll be the right thing

It's all been happening for a long, long time
There's a valley behind every mountain you climb
So turn up the music and open the door
Nothing left to wait for

[Chorus 1]
Shine, shine your sweet light on me
You said you were a rider but you feel like a woman to me

[Chorus 2]
Open the windows and unlock the locks
Ride all you can 'cause they may stop all your clocks
Let all your hair down and open the wine
Things will be really fine

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
