1971

Riders on The Storm Lyrics

Riders on the storm Riders on the storm
Into this house were born, Into this world were thrown
Like a dog without a bone, An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm Theres a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin like a toad Take a long holiday
Let your children play If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die Killer on the road,
yeah Girl ya gotta love your man Girl
ya gotta love your man Take him by the hand
Make him understand The world on you depends
Our life will never end, Gotta love your man,
yeah Wow!Riders on the storm Riders on the storm
Into this house were born, Into this world were thrown
Like a dog without a bone An actor out alone
Riders on the storm Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm Riders on the storm

Song Note : "This was the last song Jim Morrison recorded. He went to France and died a few weeks later. The single was released in June, 1971, shortly before Morrison's death. This was the last song on the last Doors album with Morrison. Fittingly, it ends with the storm fading slowly to silence. The remaining Doors released 2 more albums without Morrison before breaking up in 1972. In 2002, Kreiger and Manzarek reunited as "The Doors Of The 21st Century." Densmore, who says he wasn't invited to join them, went to court and eventually got a ruling preventing the group from using The Doors in its name, so they changed their name to "Riders On The Storm" after this song."
