John Leyton’s first single of 1962, “Lone Rider” is based on an instrumental of the same name, also penned by Geoffrey Goddard and produced by Joe Meek, recorded by the Flee-Rekkers the previous year.
In the song, the singer is the titular “lone rider,” a lonely man man with something to prove. Thi...
A lone, lone rider is riding tonight
Through the dusk you can hear me roaring
Revving up to glory, driving through the night
Trying to tell my story, yeah trying to prove that I'm right
Be warned, young riders, or soon you will see
You'll become just become just as lonely and sad
As me
Cross fields, cross forests, through city and town
I will ride, for my journey is endless
Oh risks for kicks will bring you nothing but tears and pain
Just like me you'll be riding through the wind and the rain
Be warned, young riders, or soon you will see
You'll become just become just as lonely and sad
As me
Lone Rider was written by Geoffrey Goddard.
Lone Rider was produced by Joe Meek.
