Ezy Rider
Jimi Hendrix · The Cry Of Love (Re-release)
There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
RidinÂ’ down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
takes him higher
TryinÂ’ to find his heaven above
but he's dyinÂ’ to be loved, dyinÂ’ to be loved
He's tellinÂ’ me livinÂ’
is so magic
Something is forever
so he claims
He's talkin' Â’bout lyinÂ’
it's so tragic baby
But don't you worry Â’bout today
we got freedom comin' our way, freedom comin' our way
(Solo)
How long
do you
think he is gonna last
carryin' on outta gas (?)
See all the others say
"do what you please"
Gotta get the brothers together
and the right to be free
In a cloud of angel dust
I think I see me a freak
Hey motorcycle mama
you gonna marry me? ha,ha
Bridge:
I'll be stone crazy
love cominÂ’ in at you
Stone crazy baby
AaahhhÂ…
There goes Ezy
Ezy Ryder
RidinÂ’ down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
takes him higher
TryinÂ’ to find his heaven above
but he's dyinÂ’ to be loved, dyinÂ’ to be loved
Yeah, Ezy RiderÂ… desireÂ… (many moreÂ…) gently, gently awayÂ…

Ezy Rider
Jimi Hendrix's 'Ezy Rider' stands as a quintessential example of his psychedelic rock mastery, characterized by his signature wah-wah pedal work and soaring guitar solos. Recorded for the album *The Cry of Love*, the track exemplifies the band's exploration of space and sound during the late 1960s. The song captures the raw energy and improvisational spirit that defined Hendrix's live performances and studio recordings of the era. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic structure and the innovative guitar techniques that pushed the boundaries of rock music, cementing Hendrix's legacy as a visionary artist who redefined the possibilities of electric guitar playing.
