Hey, yo, Jim, man, won't you, won't you kick some of that, You know...

Bu-bu-but tell Your story, you know the one I like, say it for me (Ride, ride, ride)

Riders on the storm
(Ride, ride, ride)
Riders on the storm
(Ride, ride, ride)
Into this house we're born
(Into this house we're born)
Into this world we're thrown
(Into this world we're thrown)
Like a dog without a bone (Like a dog without a bone)
An actor out on loan (An actor out on loan)
Riders on the storm
(Ride, ride, ride)

There's a killer on the road
(Killer, Murder)
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday

Sweet family will die (Die)
Killer on the road

Snoop:
Goin' off of this off of that

Driftin', Liftin',
Swiftin', coastin', testaroastin'
But the wheels won't stop
200 (errrr) on the highway fresh Up off the block

slip through the slip and slide

Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road

Take a long holiday

Let your children play

If ya give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road
