The Long Ryders

The Long Ryders are an American alternative country and Paisley Underground band, principally active between 1982 and 1987, who have periodically regrouped for brief reunions (2004, 2009, 2014, 2016). In 2019 they released a new studio album – their first in 32 years – and announced a series of tour dates to follow. The Long Ryders were originally formed by several American musicians who were each multi-instrumentalists and influenced by Gram Parsons, the Byrds, country music and various punk rock groups.

She sings alone and brings the kinda light to wash your sorrow
She waits for many things, including lies
What can she do, what can she do
 
She wants to mess so bad
She wants to be held and be had
She goes to church alone
For love on Sunday
What will she do, what will she do
 
Roads they cross is wide
Comrades in arms
St Christopher guides them capturing the flag
A-walking in in-line
Those they left behind
St Tristan for those capturing the flag
 
Now many times she passes
Plans so filled with pale tomorrows
Soldiers bring back lies, instead of lives
What can you do, what can you do
 
Roads they cross is wide
Comrades in arms
St Christopher guides them capturing the flag
A-walking in in-line
Those they left behind
St Tristan for those capturing the flag
 
She once had a boy
She once had a husband too
She once had a son
She once had a husband too
 
They take them from the ground, shine them a light
Pass them in review, tell them that was life
What could they do, what could they do
 
Roads they cross is wide
Comrades to arms
St Christopher guides them capturing the flag
A-walking in in-line
Those they left behind
St Tristan for those capturing the flag
