Dire Straits - Ride Across The River + lyrics

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

When my mother was pregnant of me she used to put headphones with Dire Straits on her belly, I'm now 25 years and still listenling to this great music

[F3nlok]

In some quiet corner of hell the Devil waits trembling, afraid of whatever this song is going to bring across the river. True haunting lyrics that are perfectly captured by the notes of guitars, drums and horns.

my fav song of the album

[vickiT1968]

my babies were raised on this tune also..from inside tummies to running through out the house :)

[calvinnewcastle]

the best band in the world

[trista16100]

When I play Frisbee Freestyle this song creates such a tunnel vision that I `nail moves that otherwise go to the spaunch bin.

Now for the political argument... Leaders of Nations will be judged to a higher standard...with that said, there were no baby killers in Viet Nam...men who are thrown into action by the ass of Brass whom must kill to survive a given situation ...can honestly say they are being judged by someone whom is neither deep or wide.

Truth is found in the details ...beachjammer
