One Way Rider

(album: Highways And Heartaches - 1982)

Now you're off and running run just like you're scared
Run just like a grey dog run just like a deer
Something in the bushes staring out at you
Staring at your feelings feeling like you do.

One way rider, one way down the road
Baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go.

Once upon a victim circumstance is due
Tend to take a hold on everything you do
First we follow losers next we follow fools
Now we follow footsteps sneaking upon you.

One way rider, one way down the road
Baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go.

Lovers save your secrets trust not into fools
Don't go look for trouble it will come to you
Like some long lost passage fly in broken lines
Here in the fleeting moment really gone this time.

One way rider, one way down the road
Baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go.

Yeah, I'm a one way rider, one way down the road
Baby I'm right beside you everywhere you go...
