Red Rider

Songwriter: Tom Cochrane

Producer: David Tickle Ed Thacker

I could see it on the road ahead
Running hard, I'm here
But I could be there instead

Many houses with the lights on
Silhouette behind the shades
Beside fires, I'm sure I saw you in one

I loved you but that was way back then
Now I'm alone outside
And then I face the wind
The rain washes me thin

Knocked me down but I got back up
And I got myself back in the race again
Knock me down and I'll get back up
And I'll get myself back in the race again

Race through the shadows
Race against stone
Sunken city that I thought was my own
Might be a brave new world
But it's really not my home

Roll over, fall in
My God I screamed
They might catch them
But they won't catch me

I'm out here clean and I'm free
Yes, I'm free

Knocked me down but I got back up
And I got myself back in the race again
Knock me down and I'll get back up
And I'll get myself back in the race again

Red Rider was a Canadian rock band that formed in 1975. A few years later, future rock legend Tom Cochrane joined the band, and in 1979 released its breakthrough album Don’t Fight It. As Far as Siam, released in 1981, contained Lunatic Fringe, which remains Red Rider’s largest success. The band broke up silently in 1990, but reformed in 2002 and plays live to this day.
