Red Rider - Human Race Lyrics
I can see it on the road ahead
Running hard, I'm here
But I could be there instead
Many houses with the lights on
I'm sure that I saw you in one
I loved you but that was way back then
Now I'm alone outside and I face the wind
The rain washes me thin
Knocked me down and I got back up
And I got myself back in the race again
Knock me down and I'll get back up
And I'll get myself back in the race again
Race through the shadows, race against stone
The sunken city that I thought was my own
Might be in a brave new world but it's really not my home
Roll over, fall in; "My god", I screamed
They might catch them, but they won't catch me
I'm out here clean and I'm free; yes, I'm free
Knocked me down and I got back up
And I got myself back in the race again
Knock me down and I'll get back up
And I'll get myself back in the race again.

Red Rider Human Race Comments
One of my favorite songs ever. No matter how many years go by when I hear it it sounds awesome. That driving bass! Damn!
Why wasn't this song huge!!!??
This is a great cruising song....
Going to their concert Dec. 5 2019 in Windsor! :)
Red rider is the best
Why the he’ll don’t they play the songs off this album on the radio!!! All you hear is lunatic fringe! 😡
just heard this song for the first time today!
I can see it on the road ahead
Running hard I'm here
But I could be there instead
Many houses with the lights on
Silhouettes behind the shades
Beside fires
I'm sure that I saw you in one
I loved you but
That was way back then
Now I'm alone outside
I face the wind
The rain washes me thin
Knocked me down and I got back up
I got myself back in the race again
Knock me down and I'll get back up
And I'll get myself
Back in the race again
Race through the shadows
Race against stone
The sunken city
I thought was my own
Might be in a brave new world
But it's not my home
Roll over fall in
'My God', I screamed
They might catch them
They won't catch me
I'm out here clean
I'm free, I'm free
Knocked me down and I got back up
And I got myself
Back in the race again
Knock me down and I'll get back up
And I'll get myself
Back in the race again
Knock me down but I got back up and I got myself back in the race #ME
Great song.
I want more.....
This song brings back so many memories. To be young again.
I want to go back to the 80's. Anyone else going?
Knock me down and ill get bak up and i put myself bak in the race again ......manitoba proud
This songs gives me life. Im 17, still got so many years to go.
My all Time Fave Red Rider song!
Kenny Greer is so criminally underrated it’s mind boggling. He’s laid down some of the best guitar and lap steel parts in history bar none.
why are there gunshots at the end?
@Alex Mustata the ending is great. i like to think of them as gunshots and i don't know why. i'm not a violent person nor are there anything in the lyrics to suggest using a gun. i should start perceiving it as thunder.
@jaytotheell great end to a great song. Sometimes music makes us think in unusual ways, i know i find myself listening to a great song and daydreaming or thinking about random things occasionally
@Alex Mustata yes. music is a miracle. my bro was a bass player. he had alot of band members down in the basement while i was growing up. my parents had the stereo on all the time. i grew up hearing music from the 40's on. i was blessed to be in that family.
@jaytotheell cool im only 17, but luckily i was raised on good old rock. Canadian rock certainly remains one of my favourite genres.. Red rider, april wine, loverboy, helix, kim mitchell etc certainly some of the most underrated and best music ever.
@Alex Mustata it's funny how young peoplesuch as yourself say this music you mention is underrated. this is not your fault. radio stations play some of that music, but not much anymore. i can tell you that none of those bands are underrated. they were huge in their day. listen to some Burton Cummings and The Guess Who. now that was rock. "got my own way to rock" by burton is awesome.
1980's music are far more superior than 2010's music.
Amazing song. Everytime I think of the top bests song this one always comes to me
Love this song..Soo Canadian
one of the best tunes ever
Единственный путний альбом у RR,но какой!
ok ok Im discovering this band, and think I gonna fall in love.
Font know if i can ho true this. I cant take it anymore.
Black sabbath forever shared a red rider song, 100 % black sabbath is red rider confirmed
what? i don't get what you mean.
Killer driving bass line, song wouldn't be the 1/10 as good without it.
Awesome, awesome Tom Cohcrane & Red Ryder!!!
nice song- it reminds me of chris deburgh- check his songs
Still have this album on vinyl.
i still have all my albums on vinyl!
Brings back memories of my seemingly uncomplicated Youth....
no such thing as the human race...it's the human species...race is a sub category.
Yea, try singing it that way! Btw, it's a metaphor for the struggle, man.
Yeah, you fucking idiot
Wicked tune!!!
Still got it, 34 years on - that voice, priceless...
great Canadian band, tom Cochrane, still is great.
Great motivation song Red Rider
PURELY MAGICAL
Loved these guys. Stopped listening after this album when it seemed they went disco. Many years later I forgive them and have been listening to them a lot lately.
They never went disco dipshit, they went "dated 1980's synthpop with an edge"
One badass tune!!
had the chance to meet him and his daughter in Oshawa......What a man.....Love him....This tune cranked in my mustang with the top down on a beautiful country road....Living in the country should be for everyone....
Wicked bass line! Ian Hill-like!
Bring back the '80's please!
Todd Schneck yes!!
Great Band! They remind me a bit of Midnight Oil!
I love the music and the feel of this song!
too many commercials ruin it for me
Most people say Life Is A Highway is the best Red Rider song but I say Human Race is!.
I may go Breakaway, or Good Times. White Hot....all good stuff.
Human Race I like better than Life Is A Highway.
idiots. half of you have no idea what youre talking about.
Year later still is..!!!
Lunatic fringe is good too
the race for everlasting life john 17 verse 3
best cruising song
you said it all.
especially in my mustang with the top down
At night on the Trans Canada Highway...I loved it.
Love this song,. No doubt a favorite Red Rider tune. Tom Cochrane and Red Rider rock. Great Canadian music that I always love listening to. Love tunes by Canadian singers/groups.
i'm a conuk
please check out my you tube channel and subscribe if you like it
I can't believe I finally figured out who did this song I've been trying to figure this all out for 34 years no lie thanks to modern technology and the internet I found it amazing lyrics amazing song
Canadian music was so much more before Justin B.
Yep. And Rush was the best.
yeah LIKE BTO
The Guess Who were great :)
Why does everybody hate on Justin Bieber? He hasn't been on the charts in fucking years. He's not even ruining music or Canadian music. That's your own faulty, fucked up miserable mindsets doing that. Listen to the song and quit fucking bitching and moaning like fucking retreads!
When I was 15 I was out dirt bike riding on a Saturday morning. I came across a spot where a camp fire had been the night before, a bush party as we called them. I found 2 bottles of still cool Molson Canadian and a cassette tape of Neruda lying in the dirt. That is how I discovered Red Rider.

+tobagotb10 Hey its a small world
@***** speaking of heat, 37c here today, 80% humidity. I hate February.
+tobagotb10 Well it snowed once in December, but in couple hours it went away.
WOW - that is magical
It was meant to be.........
Maybe only the 2nd time I've heard this. Never knew what the title was.
I used to see Tom Cochrane quite a bit because his wife played bingo at the bingo hall that I worked at through highschool. He's a very humble, decent guy. I told him that this was my favourite song by him and he seemed genuinely appreciative.
Might be a brave new world, but it's really not my home.
Good hustle boys.
Every Word of this song is my anthem...This song has carried me through some rough times, as I carried myself out of hell..
Cowboys In Hong Kong for me. I'm a transplanted Canadian, living in Taiwan for over a decade, in Asia for 15+.
@T Orrent Also an amazing track.
About anyone can relate to this song.
awesome music. the 80's blow the hell out of that crap they listen to today.
Some of the 80's stuff. Most of the hair bands blew. The bands from the 70's that were still going strong into the 80's rocked.
Very well said and if i may i would like to echo the sentiment as i grew up in the same times and wouldnt change a thing
That's where you are wrong friend.... every time i close my eyes and listen to some songs from the 80's they come right back..... after all, in the end memories are all we are left with..... when all the friends, money, parties, booze and dope are gone we still have the memories :)
Only if you decide to be deaf, dumb, and blind is that statement true.
@BOC4ALL Most of the hair bands blew? What are you nuts? Half of them still play today and sound just as good if not better.
Amen My friend!!! I love all the iconic legends of rock but when I hear staples such as You Shook Me All Night Long, Bohemian Rhapsody, Rock You Like A Hurricane 3 times in an afternoon I want to effn yack. Pathetic that songs like this that did get great airplay in 83, would of fallen on deaf ears nowadays. I guess Corporate Radio gets stiffies over the ilk of Justina Bieber LOL
Dont forget the Northern Pikes
You guys are forgetting the creme de la creme, Streetheart,Trooper and Platinum Blonde.
Right place, right time.
Always get back up and get in the game again.
The Future Is Never Here . Im Almost There . Im A Human
The Future Is Never Here. Im Almost There. Can Not Turn Back.
Best bass line in Rock 'n Roll history. There I said it. Deal with it.
Thanks
abeldanger net
All great bands!
Nice one isn't. It's one of my fav too :D
...Voivod, Annihilator, Subhumans (B.C. punk), Killer Dwarves and Triumph, I'm sure their ton's more I've never heard. It's always best to visit. They have 'mad' talented musicians up there.
For me better with Light in the tunnel as the intro.
