Ride Across the River Lyrics

Official lyrics for Ride Across the River, performed by Dire Straits.

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 language 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 becoming wrong, the left becoming 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
