Ride Across The River Lyrics

Lyric discussion by markski62 

Cover art for Ride Across The River lyrics by Dire Straits

It's about the early eighties conflict in Central America. There is a river located near the border of two countries over which recon and hunter-killer missions were staged. Also, most all folks that venture to foreign lands and get shot at and shoot people are mercenaries. Nobody does it for fun. Been there, done that.

Just my two cents. Great song though.
