Walk down the river don't stop now keep on walking
Walk down the river 'till you make it to the bright blue sea
This is what she said to me whispered in my ear
A man by the river is a man without fear
One step forward, two steps back keep stepping
Put your foot forward 'cause you're on the right track
Chorus
Walked two days and the ground got hot
by the first turn I could hear gunshots
staggered in the weeds like a fool in the bush
choked in the dirt and a voice said push
Lost my way five times in the rain
went three miles for the inches that I gained
kids threw rocks and the cars slowed down
people yelled from the window fool turn around!
Chorus
Buildings leaning over trying to break my back
Sky wants to simmer and the Earth wants to crack
let me tell you something, I can hear the sea calling
so I just move it out like a baby crawling
Chorus
The lyrics WALK DOWN THE RIVER of COMMON RIDER is also present in the album Last wave rockers (1999)
Common Rider sono stati una band ska punk formatasi nel 1999 da Jesse Michaels (chitarra, voce), Mass Giorgini (basso) e Dan Lumley (batteria). Il gruppo aveva un sound più morbido rispetto a quello dei Operation Ivy, la prima band di Michaels, ma conservava comunque la stessa energia e passione. Common Rider hanno pubblicato due album in studio: "Common Rider" (2001) e "The Last Ride" (2003), entrambi accolti positivamente dalla critica. La loro musica è caratterizzata da melodie ska orecchiabili, riff punk energici e testi introspettivi che esplorano temi come la solitudine, l'alienazione e la ricerca di un senso nella vita. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "The Last Ride", "Common Rider" e "Lost in the Crowd".
