Johnny Winter - Fast Life Rider Lyrics






Don't believe a word you say
I can't stand the way you do
Lord your low-down ways
'R comin' home to you

Lord fast life rider
Steals the life...from me
Going down

Stayed out last night
All the night before
I done changed that lock
Woman on my door

Lord fast life rider
Steals the life...from me
Goin' down

Yeah!

Ohhhh, ohhhh!

Done bought me a ticket
The trunk's already gone
Y'ought to know by that
Ain't gonna be here long

Lord fast life rider
Steals the life...from me

Goin' down
Ohhh, ohhh!

    I bought this album when it came out and recorded it onto a C-90 cassette tape to play in the car. Cassettes were pretty new, at least to me in Australia, and I spent so much time in my car that I never wore out my LPs!

    Lordy, Lord I'll wait
    Comin' home to you
    Lord at first I'd rather
    Sit and listen to you
    Going down
    Stayed out last night
    And the night before
    I done changed the lock
    Woman on my door
    Well Lord at first I'd rather
    Sit, listen to you
    Well, it's lies that's all
    Yeah
    Done bought me a ticket
    The trunk's already gone

    This be the last of you-all
    Goin' down
    Oh, oh

  20. r.... s....

  21. M.... B....

    a lot more than the best 3 sided album of all time.

  22. f.... ....

    Having not heard this music for a while, I'm realizing how deeply ingrained Second Winter is in my musical psyche.

  23. a.... l....

    Muddy Waters and BB King  digged Johnny Winter - and Johnny was One Of My First Influence on Giutar - Olof ANDER THUNDER Lundberg       -  SALUTE to Johnny Winters Guitarplaying   - Frontbeat - BackBeat -Rythm and slide                   Yeah

    Then, and now. Back in the day Johny had his peers. Comparing him to the talentless hacks pretending today. It is no contest! Winter is King.

  26. G.... F....

    RIP Johnny Winter...may the Blues be with us...

  39. M.... F....

    I was SO FORTUNATE to see this group live, circa 1969,
    It wasn't called "Second Winter Tour" then, but that's what it was, incredible show.

  40. F.... V....

    Simply the Best!

  41. T.... C....

    RIP JOHNNY :(

  42. G.... S....

    I'm from the backwoods of Australia and my mates older brother brought around Second Winter that he had just bought. It was 1971. I was instantly hooked and was a disciples of Winters for the next ten years. Still thrash his records to this day

  43. R.... M....

    the 2 people that didn't like this are dopes.

    R.... M....

    maybe they don't like that it's just a still photo-ultimately who cares

    R.... M....

    need red bull and cowbells

    R.... M....

    probably love boie george and gorgeous george

  44. H.... M....

    Grande Johnny.

    H.... M....

    Lo que yo te diga , horas escuchando a este fenómeno .Este álbum es del 69 .

  45. a.... ....

    oops wrong song title in prev.post Harrison's phasing song was Ski Ing

  46. a.... ....

    Put on your headphones & crank it up!!!!!!!!!!!! The coolest phasing (Right to Left) ever done>>> George Harrison's song Boring a Hole on obscure album Wonderwall also has some amazing phasing as well. The title makes sense when you listen w/ headphones as the guitar literally bores a hole back & forth thru your brain ;) Peace & Love brothers & Sisters

  47. D.... L....

    Johnny Winter IS up there, regarded by many, as one of the GREATEST

    This song proves it

  48. s.... l....

    This is real Music! It blew my mind first time i Heard it and still does!

  49. C.... P....

    Love this track...one of my favorites!

  50. s.... d....

    the greatest legally blind albino bluesman around, as well.

  51. C.... P....

    Love this...Saw Jimmy Vivino perform it...he did an amazing job!

  52. Q.... ....

    the greatest albino bluesman around.

    I realize that's a rather narrow superlative, but at least no one will be able to argue with me about it.

  53. j.... t....

  56. j.... ....

    Thanks for posting this.I have not heard this in over 40 years.Thanks again!

  57. t.... ....

    it's too bad this style of music died. I was raised on it.

  58. f.... ....

    glad someone put this stuff here. got more? the alligator lp's would be nice.

  59. B.... O....

    Don't believe a word you say, Can't stand the way you do...
    They don't bring it like hey used to !!!!.

  60. A.... ....

    We love you Johnny - thanks for coming to London!

    Thanks too for a420highway for posting... =)

  61. G.... H....

    This tree-side-album was great!

  62. T.... ....

    One of the coolest grooves ever committed to vinyl.

  63. t.... ....

    Great song from a classic period in Johnny's career.
    The opening riff is actually from Ray Charles's "Sticks & Stones" as JW sad once.

  64. h.... ....

    Still Awesome after 40 years! Way ahead of his time...and for all us Fast Life Riders!

  65. w.... ....

    @FraterSoddi That's part of the point though... the effect draws your attention away from any problems it might cause with the mix. Benefit over disadvantage.

  66. S.... D....

    @whoiscuriousgeorge
    Because it muddies up a mix so that if you listen to it on anything but headphones the panned stereo "image" smears across the frequency bands and you lose the center and the mix don't PUNCH. Most guitar band producers go for the Mutt Lange model - set it up, let it sit and punch it up.

  67. J.... I....

    Would you put up a vid for his Drown In My Own Tears and Back Door Friend?

  68. h.... ....

    thx for posting this!!!i wore out my original copy of this+lost it in a burglary!?GREAT UPLOAD!!!i think he's thee best slide(along with Duane!?)+EVER!!!!

  69. T.... ....

    Man I forgot about this song. Johnny's tearing it up sweetttttttttttttttttt!

  70. w.... ....

    Why don't more bands do panning tricks with the instruments? It seems to have fallen out of favour again and I don't know why, because if you do it right it can really help keep your attention on the record.

    Fucking love this song, good quality audio on the upload so well done there.

  71. M.... T....

    thanks brotha!!! u r the man!

  72. 6.... ....

    Do you have his version of Satisfaction? I looked, but it isn't anywhere on You tube

  73. 6.... ....

    I bought this LP when it first came out and still lov e it today!

  74. b.... ....

    ...thanks a420highway for posting....it was sorely missed from YouTube....but no longer......
