Lyrics
[muted trumpet solo intro]
[upbeat pick-up]
[verse]
I'm a lone rider, in a world so wide,
Searching for a love that'll stand by my side.
With each mile I roam, I'm closer to the truth,
In the heart of this woman, there's a fire of youth.
[verse]
Down a dusty road, beneath the dying sun,
I'm just someone, with my dreams on the run.
Got a guitar in my hand, and a song in my heart,
Chasing after love, but it's tearing me apart.
[guitar solo]
[chorus]
Can you keep me down ? (No)
Can you hold your horse ? (oh,oh)
As I'm running down,
I'll kick dust around.
You won't hold me down! (No)
You will stay on the ground (oh,oh)
As I love you now,
You'll be my playing cards
[verse]
I'm a lone rider, on the winds of love,
Tried to up myself to the task
As the day unfold, I'm learning to go on
Through the valleys deep, I will ride on and on
[pre-chorus]
You may try to tame me, but I'll never be bound
As a wild horse, baby, I'll roam all around
You can try to hit me, but I'll never be pleased
Come on, Baby ! Follow my lead !!
[chorus Rock blues with backvocal]
Can you keep me down ? (No)
Can you hold your horse ? (oh,oh)
As I'm running down,
I'll kick dust around.
You won't hold me down! (No)
You will stay on the ground (oh,oh)
As I love you now,
You'll be my playing cards
[dirty guitar solo]
[add muted brass to solo]
[drums solo]
[Bridge]
In the heart of this woman, the hope carries on
As I'm free like a bird, in the fields I belong
Man, will you be all I need ? Will you dream ?
With the spirit of a lone rider, baby! I'll never yield !!
Yeah !! Yeah !!
[ad-lib vocal]
[guitar solo]
[chorus Rock blues with backvocal]
Can you keep me down ? (No)
Can you hold your horse ? (oh,oh)
As I'm running down,
I'll kick dust around.
You won't hold me down! (No)
You will stay on the ground (oh,oh)
As I love you now,
You'll be my playing cards
will you dream ?
With the spirit of a lone rider, baby !
[ad-lib stop]
I'll never yield !! (No)
I'll never yield !! (never)
[music returns to original tempo]
[guitar solo]
[chorusl]
Can you keep me down ? (No)
Can you hold your horse ? (oh,oh)
As I'm running down,
I'll kick dust around.
You won't hold me down! (No)
You will stay on the ground (oh,oh)
As I love you now,
Will you level the fields ?
[chorus]
You won't hold me down! (No)
You will stay on the ground (oh,oh)
As I love you now,
I'm a lone rider, yeah !!
