De laatste single van The Doors waarop Jim Morrison te horen is. Morrison zou kort na het uitbrengen van de single overlijden. “There’s a killer on the road/His brain is squirming like a toad/If you give this man a ride/Sweet family will die” verwijst naar seriemoordenaar Billy Cook al liftend naar Californië 6 mensen vermoordde, waaronder een gezin van 3. Volgens John Densmore werd Riders on the Storm mede geïnspireerd door de klassieke countrysong Ghost Riders in the Sky.
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we’re born
Into this world we’re thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm
There’s 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 FAMILY 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
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we’re born
Into this world we’re 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
