Song lyrics
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 on a loan
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 lives 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 on a loan

Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm

This song is a classic! It rambles on a bit, and the lyrics are darkly romantic: "Girl ya gotta love your man/Take him by the hand/Make him understand/The world on you depends/Our life will never end..."
The recorded rainshower portion is genius.

This was an awsome song! When Snoop Dogg made his own little version of it, it pissed the shit right out of me. My god what a hateful man!

This song is so good! Its tone is relaxing, and the music is just sheer genius. The lyrics are so deep, and the vocals are perfect.

A hypnotising song, a hallmark of the Doors last album, showing the magic was still there, who knows what they could have done had Jim, rest his soul, not passed on, a true epic of a song, we all ride the storm....

This is one of the best that Morrison and the Doors ever put out. No one can beat Jim Morrison's voice singing this dark, moody song.

i just have to say for TheRapGame and for anyone else who thinks that rap is good.....wtf is wrong with you?
rap is sexist and disgraceful to women!
and also...rappers dont even have any range in their voice....they pretty much talk in their songs...and they talk about women, niggers, and gangsters....what about that would anyone want to listen to?
anyways...this is a great song and i love jim morrison and the doors..theyre amazing and a million times more talented than any rapper in the world.

This is just a great song of The Doors, and the only thing Snoop Dog can do well is just do crappy covers. Anyway this song rocks!!!

It's Okay but I like Creed's Version better. It's got the power Guitar going. Check it out if you haven't heard it.
