LYRICS:
Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride
Well there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food and no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time
Fightin', killin', wine and women, gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
But my life
Stood on a ridge and shunned religion thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake stealin' when I should've been buyin'
All that fightin', killin', wine and those women, gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
But my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life
So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake stealin' when I should've been buyin'
I was stealin' when I should've been buyin'
I was stealin' when I should've been buyin' yeah
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'

They don't make rock and roll like this anymore the 70 s kicked ass a lot of good music !!!!!!!!!!

[@pierrebelanger8656]

HI!! /HI!!/Salut.....,.You know why?? cause they don't do rock & roll, They only make one kind of music it's Uriah Heep music and it's not any kind of others. The sound (specially with the "Dream Team") of Uriah Heep is UNIQUE I try to find something who's sound like them.....sorry I haven't find any. ....When I was 17 back in 1972 I had the "privilège" of seen them in concert at the mystique Montréal Forum with Buddy Miles and deep Purple and again in 1974 with Savoy Brown and again in 1976 or 77 with Jethro Tull(the concert of the century and, by that time, I knew that I will never see that again in my life and until today,( I'm 66 ) HONEST I never did. Have a good day a serious fan.....from Montréal. PS after 3 Uriah Heep concerts I can die in peace....thank's to Uriah Heep, nothing is the same since the 1st concert!!

​@@michaeldeliberate8251being this age and getting here so quickly and the 51 years flying by since this song first came out just feels like the universe played a dirty joke on all of us .

I always got a kick out of the little laugh he did right after he sung that line...

[@ebayerr]

It's hard to appreciate now how good this sounded back in '73 when it first came out. This song and Aerosmith "Dream On", Deep Purple - "Smoke on the Water", Golden Earring "Radar Love" Pink Floyds "Dark side of the Moon" album and ZZ Top's "Tres Hombres" album. Man. What a time to be a teenager.

[@RG-ja34sep]

A great Ken Hensley classic. The Uriah Heep sound is iconic, this was their best line up: David Byron, a magnificent lead vocalist, the talented Gary Thain on bass guitar, as mentioned, the multi talented Ken Hensley, the driving lead guitar of Mick Box, and the vastly underrated drumming of Lee Kerslake. The Seventies! What a magical decade of truly awesome rock bands, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd to name a few!

[@tomreed2574]

A dissertation!!

[@debbresser4908]

They were around in the 60's. I feel really old hearing this one! ;)

@R G if you want another great throwback song from the days of yesteryear.. and you have Never listened to it.. check out the song "Proud Words".. from the Ken Hensley solo L.P....titled "Proud Words on a Dusty Shelf"... this song is very much like the Uriah Heap stuff ..beautiful slide guitar work...
