Bad Company

I'm a downhill ryder, babe I ain't going down slow
I'm a downhill ryder; I get the urge that it's time to go

Take my cue from my old guitar
That I used to play
Underneath the moon and the stars
'til the break of day

I'm a free flying glider, got my head up in the clouds
I'm a free flying glider; I don't ever want to come down

Take my cue from the moon and the stars that I used to play
Underneath with my old guitar 'til the break of day, Yeah

All across the nation I can feel a vibration
Let it in your mind, let it shine
Take my cue from the moon and the stars
That I used to play, underneath with my old guitar
'Til the break of day, all across the nation
I can feel the vibration, let it in your mind
It's going to shine, yes it's going to shine
Well I'm a downhill ryder
I'm a down, down, down, down, downhill ryder
Got the wind in my sails; baby I'm a cool man
Down, down, down, downhill ryder
Down, down, down?

Bad Company was not only formed as a supergroup from members of Free (Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke), Mott the Hoople (Mick Ralphs), and King Crimson (Boz Burrell), but also was immediately signed as the first act on Led Zeppelin’s new label, Swan Song.

So they had a charmed life, from the start. And they made good on everything it promised. They had so many hits we just don’t wanna type them all in with the fancy markup here, so just check them out for yourself, listed by popularity on this very page. Suffice it to say there are few hard blues-rock bands with more songs that hit the US charts.

Here’s one of them, Bad Company, by Bad Company, off the album Bad
