According to band member Robby Krieger, it was inspired by the song, "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend".

The song's lyrics allude in part to the notorious spree killer Billy Cook .

Riders on the Storm Lyrics

[00:46.33] Riders on the storm
[00:50.82] Riders on the storm
[00:55.33] Into this house we're born
[01:00.09] Into this world we're thrown
[01:04.28] Like a dog without a bone
[01:06.86] An actor out alone
[01:09.75] Riders on the storm
[01:13.71] There's a killer on the road
[01:18.25] His brain is squirmin' like a toad
[01:23.50] Take a long holiday
[01:28.48] Let your children play
[01:32.67] If you give this man a ride
[01:34.88] Sweet memory will die
[01:37.94] Killer on the road, yeah
[01:43.84]
[02:14.99] Girl, you gotta love your man
[02:19.63] Girl, you gotta love your man
[02:24.95] Take him by the hand
[02:29.86] Make him understand
[02:34.31] The world on you depends
[02:36.45] Our life will never end
[02:39.35] Gotta love your man, yeah
[02:45.26]
[05:02.43] Riders on the storm
[05:07.19] Riders on the storm
[05:11.65] Into this house we're born
[05:16.40] Into this world we're thrown
[05:20.82] Like a dog without a bone
[05:23.34] An actor out alone
[05:26.29] Riders on the storm
[05:30.07]
[05:49.56] Riders on the storm
[05:54.03] Riders on the storm
[05:58.83] Riders on the storm
[06:03.59] Riders on the storm
[06:06.55]
