Ride Across the River Songtext
von Dire Straits

I′m a soldier of freedom in the army of the man
Ah we are the chosen, we're the partisan alright
Well 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


Now I′m a soldier of fortune, I'm a dog of war
And we don't give a damn who the killing is for
Yeah 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

Oh nothing gonna stop them as the day follows the night
Right become a wrong, the left become 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


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