Black Rider

Black Rider - Bob Dylan

Lyrics by：Bob Dylan

Composed by：Bob Dylan

Black rider black rider you've been living too hard

Been up all night have to stay on your guard

The path that you're walking too narrow to walk

Every step of the way another stumbling block

The road that you're on same road that you know

Just not the same as it was a minute ago

Black rider black rider you've seen it all

You've seen the great world and you've seen the small

You fell into the fire and you're eating the flame

Better seal up your lips if you wanna stay in the game

Be reasonable mister be honest be fair

Let all of your earthly thoughts be a prayer

Black rider black rider all dressed in black

I'm walking away you try to make me look back

My heart is at rest I'd like to keep it that way

I don't wanna fight at least not today

Go home to your wife stop visiting mine

One of these days I'll forget to be kind

Black rider black rider tell me when tell me how

If there ever was a time then let it be now

Let me go through open the door

My souls is distressed my mind is at war

Don't hug me don't flatter me don't turn on the charm

I'll take a sword and hack off your arm

Black rider black rider hold it right there

The size of your cock will get you nowhere

I'll suffer in silence I'll not make a sound

Maybe I'll take the high moral ground

Some enchanted evening I'll sing you a song

Black rider black rider you've been on the job too long
