RIDERS
Lyrics
RIDER
(Papageorge)

VERSE #1:
Rider
Riding in the night
Looking for a little light
In this life
Looking for a way to believe
To try to find some relief
From this worldly grief
And strife

VERSE #2:
Rider
Running in the dark
Looking like an easy mark
Without hope
Gotta try to get away
Live another day
Find some other way
To cope

BRIDGE:
Hear the cry of the lonely
All through the night
Just for holding on
Till the morning light
There's trouble and heartache
Seems everyone's got
It's always going on
It don't ever stop

VERSE #3:
Rider
Everyday dreamer
Part-time schemer
On your own
Looking for a landing
A little understanding
But ain't nobody handing out
A way back home
Rider
