Ride Across The River Lyrics


Dire Straits Ride Across The River

Songwriters: Knopfler, Mark;

I'm a soldier of freedom in the army of man
We are the chosen, we're the partisan alright
The cause it is noble and the cause it is just
We are ready to pay with our lives if we must

Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side, yeah yeah yeah

I'm a soldier of fortune, I'm a dog of war
And we don't give a damn who the killing is for
It's the same old story with a different name
Death or glory, it's the killing game

Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side

Nothing gonna stop them as the day follows the night
Right becomes wrong, the left becomes the right
And they sing as they march with their flags unfurled
Today in the mountains, tomorrow the world

Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side, yeah yeah yeah
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side, yeah yeah yeah
