Ride Across the River Lyrics by Dire Straits

Ride Across the River Lyrics


    I'm a soldier of freedom in the army of man
    We are the chosen, we're the partisan
    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

    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
