Life it's not just who it's what to be
Just like the friends to me
They always seem to put you down
So listen not to them
And like your neighbor who's got it made
Don't put no hold on you!
Just listen once and then you'll find
[Chorus]
Rider in the shadows
Drawing near
Rider in the shadows
Burns this life of yours
Is not to yearn
So just keep the tricks to yourself
And let the others hope to find
The key to your success
And always keep respect in line
And listen to yourself
Just listen twice and then you'll find
[Chorus]
Rider In the shadows
Drawing near
Rider In the shadows
Drawing near
Burning sands of holding time, no defense
Doesn't matter what you find
There's no defense
Just a matter of your time
You'll obey to me
[Chorus]
Rider in the shadows
Drawing near
Rider in the shadows
Drawing near
Rider in the shadows
Rider in the shadows
