Lyrics
RIDER
(Papageorge)

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

VERSE #2:
Rider
Runnin’ in the dark
Lookin’ 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 holdin’ on
Till the morning light
There’s trouble and heartache
Seems everyone’s got
It’s always goin’ on
It don’t ever stop

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