Riders

(album: Death Wish Blues - 2023)

Good morning, New York City
I'm only passing through
I gave you all that I had in me
And there's nothing quite like you
Well, I gotta put you down, baby
And it's time for me to move

How ya doing, Alabama?
Your good times I can't resist
I knew if I didn't come and see you
Your loving I'd surely miss
Oh, it's a shame I can't stay too long
I got some place that I gotta hit

Then the rambler started drifting
She got her rider by her side
And the drifter started rambling
He got the rider by his side
And from coast to coast, town to town
Up and down we roll
You know it's a hard dollar darling
But I just can't let it go

Cutting against the grain
It's a hard row to hoe
Even tougher to explain
But only my rider knows
And you know my rider knows, yeah!

Goodnight, California
Come morning I'll be gone
Please don't take it personal
It's nothing you did wrong
Maybe someday, if I settle down
Then I'll know where I belong

Then the rambler started drifting
She got her rider by her side
And then the drifter started rambling
He got the rider by his side
And from coast to coast, town to town
Up and down we roll
You know it's a hard dollar darling
But I just can't let it go

Then the rambler started drifting
She got her rider by her side
And then the drifter started rambling
He got the rider by his side
And from coast to coast, town to town
Up and down we roll
You know it's a hard dollar darling
But we just can't let it go
