About Riders On the Storm

"Riders on the Storm" is a song by The Doors from their 1971 album, L.A. Woman; it reached number 14 on the charts. 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

[00:46.39] Riders on the storm
[00:50.89] Riders on the storm
[00:55.39] Into this house we're born
[01:00.06] Into this world we're thrown
[01:04.26] Like a dog without a bone, an actor out on loan
[01:09.73] Riders on the storm
[01:13.74] There's a killer on the road
[01:18.24] His brain is squirmin' like a toad
[01:23.52] Take a long holiday
[01:28.47] Let your children play
[01:32.68] If you give this man a ride, sweet memory will die
[01:37.90] Killer on the road, yeah
[01:43.80]
[02:14.94] Girl, you gotta love your man
[02:19.61] Girl, you gotta love your man
[02:24.98] Take him by the hand
[02:29.86] Make him understand
[02:34.37] The world on you depends, our life will never end
[02:39.37] Gotta love your man, yeah
[02:45.24]
[05:02.43] Riders on the storm
[05:07.10] Riders on the storm
[05:11.63] Into this house we're born
[05:16.31] Into this world we're thrown
[05:20.82] Like a dog without a bone, an actor out on loan
[05:26.24] Riders on the storm
[05:29.99]
[05:49.54] Riders on the storm
[05:54.04] Riders on the storm
[05:58.81] Riders on the storm
[06:03.56] Riders on the storm
[06:06.58]
