Crossover

Lyrics: John Dawson
Music: John Dawson

A John Dawson original that the New Riders played in their very early days in 1969.

If you want to cross the river to the other side
Got to swim on the water, no boat to ride
And if you want to ride
If you want to ride
If you want to ride you got to buy yourself a ticket on the other side
If you want to ride you got to buy yourself a ticket on the other side

When you live on the mountain, and you got to climb down
Walk on the [foothills], no way around
Yes if you want to ride
If you want to ride
If you want to ride you got to buy yourself a ticket on the other side
Yes if you want to ride you got to buy yourself a ticket on the other side

The river is rising, make the highest ground
And you walk on the rock face, I said there's no way around
Yes if you want to ride
If you want to ride
If you want to ride you got to buy yourself a ticket on the other side
Yes if you want to ride you got to buy yourself a ticket on the other side

Yes if you want to ride
If you want to ride
If you want to ride you got to buy yourself a ticket on the other side
Yes if you want to ride you got to buy yourself a ticket on the other side
